The purpose of this review is to extend the existing application of the frontal lobe hypothesis
of cognitive aging beyond the limited work on inhibitory control (FN Dempster, 1992) to …

Research on attention is concerned with selective processing of incoming sensory
information. To some extent, our awareness of the world depends on what we choose to …

This paper applies the limited capacity model of motivated mediated messages (LC4MP) to
the problem of creating effective messages about cancer. A general description of the model …

Two experiments assess adult age differences in the extent of inhibition or negative priming
generated in a selective-attention task. Younger adults consistently demonstrated negative …

The authors examined the question of whether a decrease in the efficiency of inhibitory
processing with aging is a general phenomenon. Thirty elderly and 32 young adults …

This review presents neuroimaging studies that have explored the cerebral substrates of
executive functioning. These studies have demonstrated that different executive functions …

This review presents neuroimaging studies which have explored the cerebral substrates of
the central executive component of the working memory model proposed by Baddeley and …

An individual-differences approach was used to examine the component processes that
predict episodic long-term memory performance. A total of 301 participants ages 20–90 …

The complex environments encountered and internally represented by many organisms
