The idea
Complex tasks such as driving show age-related decline, from slower processing and weaker vision, but older drivers compensate by slowing down.
In practice
A seventy-eight-year-old who avoids night driving and leaves more space between cars.
Where people slip
Compensation shows older adults adapting their behaviour to their abilities, a theme of late adulthood.
