Research concerned with relations between adult age and cognitive functioning is briefly
reviewed. The coverage is necessarily selective, and is organized in terms of five major …

To account for dissociations observed in recognition memory tests, several dual-process
models have been proposed that assume that recognition judgments can be based on the …

A model of the effects of aging on brain activity during cognitive performance is introduced.
The model is called HAROLD (hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults), and it …

Attentional control has been conceptualized as executive functioning by neuropsychologists
and as working memory capacity by experimental psychologists. We examined the …

As people get older, they experience fewer negative emotions. Strategic processes in older
adults' emotional attention and memory might play a role in this variation with age. Older …

Whereas some older adults show significant cognitive deficits, others perform as well as
young adults. We investigated the neural basis of these different aging patterns using …

Adult humans are capable of remembering prior events by mentally traveling back in time to
reexperience those events. In this review, the authors discuss this and other related …

Memory decline in aging results from multiple factors that influence both executive function
and the medial temporal lobe memory system. In advanced aging, frontal-striatal systems …

This chapter outlines the changes in cognition that occur in normal human aging, in an effort
to provide a backdrop against which neural changes can be interpreted. It highlights the …

Cognitive aging is a flourishing area of research. A significant amount of new data, a number
of new theoretical notions, and many new research issues have been generated in the past …
