The present study was a longitudinal study of age-related changes in performance of the 5-choice serial reaction time task, a test of visual attention. Following acquisition of the task, animals were tested on two occasions on their ability to perform the 5-choice task. In Test 1 (Young: 7 months; Aged: 13–14 months) no age-related effects on baseline performance were revealed. However, increasing the attentional load of the task revealed an impairment in choice accuracy by animals of the Aged group. In Test 2 (Young: 10–11 months; Aged 23–24 months), animals of the Aged group were significantly impaired on the baseline schedule of the task compared to the Young group. The deficit in accuracy on the task could be improved in the Aged animals by decreasing the attentional load. The results of the present study suggest a deficit in attentional function as a result of the aging process, markedly similar to that observed following lesions of the basalo-cortical cholinergic system.
