成功整合跨多个感官系统传递的同步信息的能力是日常功能的一个组成部分（Saxon等人，2010）。然而，迄今为止，多感觉整合过程尚未得到彻底评估，其与健康人群和疾病人群重要临床结果的关系尚不完全清楚；这在几篇有影响力的社论中被认为是该领域的主要知识差距（Meyer和Noppeney, 2011; Wallace, 2012）。考虑到健康的老龄化会给中枢神经系统带来许多挑战，多感觉统合研究在老年人中可能被证明是有价值的。长期以来，与年龄相关的感觉障碍与步态变慢等不良后果有关（Kaye et al., 1994）；功能衰退（LaForge et al., 1992）；增加跌倒的风险（Camicioli等，1997；Judge等，1995；Lord等，1999；Lord和Ward， 1994）；生活质量更差（Carabellese et al., 1993）。健康衰老对多感觉统合过程的影响已被回顾（见de Dieuleveult等人，2017；Freiherr等人，2013；Mozolic等人，2012）；然而，调查产生不同的结果取决于：(1)多感觉整合的“效应”是如何运作的；(2)包括哪些感官组合；(3)选择何种实验设计（包括但不限于简单检测任务、虚幻任务和时间顺序判断任务）；(4)表现是否来自老年人和年轻人
The ability to successfully integrate simultaneous information relayed across multiple sensory systems is an integral aspect of everyday functioning (Saxon et al., 2010). To date, however, multisensory integration processes have not been thoroughly evaluated and their relation to important clinical outcomes in healthy and disease populations is not entirely known; this has been recognized in several influential editorials as a major knowledge gap in the field (Meyer and Noppeney, 2011; Wallace, 2012). One specific population in which multisensory integration research could prove valuable is in older adults, given that healthy aging presents many challenges to the central nervous system. Age-related unisensory impairments have long been associated with adverse outcomes like slower gait (Kaye et al., 1994); functional decline (LaForge et al., 1992); increased risks for falls (Camicioli et al., 1997; Judge et al., 1995; Lord et al., 1999; Lord and Ward, 1994); and worse quality of life (Carabellese et al., 1993). The impact of healthy aging on multisensory integration processes has been reviewed (see de Dieuleveult et al., 2017; Freiherr et al., 2013; Mozolic et al., 2012); however, investigations yield differential results depending upon:(1) how multisensory integration ‘effects’ are operationalized;(2) which sensory combinations are included;(3) which experimental design (including but not limited to simple detection, illusory, and temporal-order judgement tasks) is selected; and (4) whether performance from old and young adults
