To derive the precise estimates of self-motion necessary to perform mobility-related tasks like walking and driving, humans integrate information about their movement from across their sensory systems (e.g. visual, auditory, proprioceptive, vestibular). However, recent evidence suggests that the way in which multiple sensory inputs are integrated by the adult brain changes with age. The objective of this thesis was to consider, for the first time, whether age-related changes in multisensory integration are observed in the context of self-motion perception. Two research approaches were used. First, I used a simple, simulated driving task to provide visual cues to self-motion and to manipulate the availability of auditory and/or vestibular cues to self-motion (i.e., unisensory versus multisensory conditions). The results revealed that relative to younger adults, older adults generally demonstrate greater differences in performance between multisensory and unisensory conditions. However, the driving task could not disentangle the effects of age-related differences in real-world driving experience from age-related differences in sensory integrative mechanisms. Second, I used an established and highly controlled psychophysical heading perception task to evaluate whether, like younger adults, older adults integrate visual and vestibular cues to self-motion in a statistically optimal fashion. I considered conditions where each of the two cues was presented alone, in combination and congruent, or in combination but indicating conflicting heading angles. Results showed that while older adults did demonstrate optimal integration during congruent conditions, they were comparatively less tolerant to spatial conflicts between the visual and vestibular inputs. Overall, these results may have important implications for the way that older adults perform mobility-related tasks under various perceptual and environmental conditions.
