1 Introduction Binocular rivalry (BR) is a visual phenomenon in which perception alternates between two non-fusible images presented to each eye. Participants experience cycles of dominance and suppression between image representations (Levelt 1965; Blake 1989; Alais and Blake 2005). During transition periods between dominant (exclusive) percepts, participants often report instances where fragments of each image are simultaneously perceived.

ABSTRACT Background Aging is associated with declines in cognitive functions, particularly inhibitory control. The flanker task is widely used to assess this function; however, research findings on age-related differences remain inconsistent. Objective This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes findings comparing young and older adults across different versions of the flanker task. Methods A total of 22 studies were selected from PsycInfo, PubMed and PsycNet.
