      The idea that there may be fundamental changes in behavioral structures or strategies is further supported by the age-related decline in the JID entropy. This loss of behavioral complexity may parallel the age-related loss of physiological complexity as captured using time-series measures such as in fluctuations of the heart rate (Lipsitz and Goldberger, 1992; Vaillancourt and Newell, 2002). Intriguingly, both the Full and Social distributions were dominated by behaviors involving similar consecutive intervals across time scales (to occupy regions around the diagonal of the JID).

      The significance of a decrease in signal regularity is that it may provide an indication of impaired functional capacity. While it has also been argued that the ageing process can be associated with increases in the complexity of motor output (Vaillancourt & Newell, 2002a, 2002b; Yates, 2002), a lack of any change in signal output may provide insight into the ability of the ageing motor system to preserve control over that specific element of that system. This lack of change in signal output may reflect a fundamental goal of the system to prioritise control over the output at one level of the system in preference to another.
