Couple unaware of bear on porch
Did you see the video of the older couple who walked out their front door, completely missing the bear standing just feet from them? A security camera shows what happened. Thankfully, the couple is unharmed and all is well.
We might think, how could anyone miss such a seemingly obvious visitor? One explanation may be age-related. In general, as we age our reaction time decreases. This can affect our senses including sight, sound, smell, and touch. Decrease in peripheral vision might be a factor as our field of vision narrows as we age. Certain medications or health conditions may also slow reaction time.
