Age, sex and time of day effects on the duration of the movement after-effect.
The duration of the movement after-effect (MAE) was measured in 90 males and 64 females, aged from 7 to 87 years, between 10.30 and 17.00 h. MAE duration was an inverted U-shaped function of age, with subjects in their 30s reporting longest effects. MAEs were longest in mid-morning and declined throughout the day. Females reported shorter MAEs than males.
