before acting; meeting novel, unanticipated challenges; resisting temptations; and staying …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

In this study, we assess the impact of normal aging on top-down modulation, a cognitive
control mechanism that supports both attention and memory by the suppression and …

In this article, we review clinical research using the mismatch negativity (MMN), a change-
detection response of the brain elicited even in the absence of attention or behavioural task …

In this study, electroencephalography (EEG) was used to examine the relationship between
two leading hypotheses of cognitive aging, the inhibitory deficit and the processing speed …

Recent advances in research and clinical practice concerning aging and auditory
communication have been driven by questions about age-related differences in peripheral …

Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

This well-established and accessible text has been completely revised in this expanded fifth
edition. Each chapter has been updated, often extensively, to reflect current thinking, and an …

Past research has demonstrated an age-related increase in the Stroop effect. Some theorists
have suggested that this increase results from a decline in the ability to inhibit word …

Current evidence suggests that older adults have reduced suppression of, and greater
implicit memory for, distracting stimuli, due to age-related declines in frontal-based control …
