Assessing the Relationship Between the Flicker Test and Cognitive Performance.

ABSTRACT: An individual's ability to process flickering light is expressed by critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF), tested with the flicker test. CFFF is used to assess visual processing, arousal, and cognitive functioning, among other things, although it is unclear how it reflects these processes. Due to possible differences between CFFF values obtained in trials with increasing and decreasing frequency, it also remains questionable to use only averaged CFFF values in research. The main objective of the present study was to assess how CFFF is related to cognitive functions (attention, short-term and working memory, and executive functions), and psychomotor speed. The research objectives also included assessing the stability of CFFF and its variability with age and comparing CFFF between men and
