      abstract     = {Predicting upcoming events using past observations is a
                      crucial component of an efficient allocation of attentional
                      resources. Therefore, the deployment of attention is
                      sensitive to different types of cues predicting upcoming
                      events. Here we investigated probabilistic inference
                      abilities in spatial and feature-based attentional, as well
                      as in motor-intentional subsystems, focusing specifically on
                      the age-related changes in these abilities. In two
                      behavioral experiments, younger and older adults (20 younger
                      and 20 older adults for each experiment) performed three
                      versions of a cueing paradigm, where spatial, feature, or
                      motor cues predicted the location, color, or motor response
                      of a target stimulus. The percentage of cue validity (i.e.,
                      the probability of the cue being valid) changed over time,
                      thereby creating a volatile environment. A Bayesian
                      hierarchical model was used to estimate trial-wise beliefs
                      concerning the cue validity from reaction times and to
                      derive a subject-specific belief updating parameter ω in
                      each task version. We also manipulated task difficulty:
                      participants performed an easier version of the task in
                      Experiment 1 and a more difficult version in Experiment 2.
                      Results from Experiment 1 suggested a preserved ability of
                      older adults to use the three different cues to generate
                      predictions. However, the increased task demands of
                      Experiment 2 uncovered a difference in belief updating
                      between the two age groups, indicating moderate evidence for
                      a reduction of the ability to update predictions with motor
                      intention cues in older adults. These results point at a
                      distinction of attentional and motor-intentional subsystems,
                      with age-related differences tackling especially the
                      motor-intentional subsystem},
