Abstract Objectives The age-prospective memory paradox states that younger adults perform better than older in laboratory tasks, while the opposite has been observed for naturalistic tasks. These terms insufficiently characterise tasks and task settings. We therefore revisited using a newly developed taxonomy to understand how characteristics or settings contribute age-related differences performance. Methods conducted meta-analysis of 138 studies, classifying prospective according our...
Several arguments suggest that motor planning may share embodied neural mechanisms with mental rotation (MR). However, it is not well established whether this overlap occurs regardless of the type stimulus manipulated, in particular manipulable or non-manipulable objects and body parts. We here used high-density electroencephalography (EEG) to examine cognitive similarity between MR do afford specific hand actions (chairs) bodily stimuli (hands). Participants had identical response options...
Abstract Several arguments suggest that mental rotation (MR) and motor planning may share embodied neural mechanisms, but the overlap between cognitive processes recruited during MR of objects body parts is not well established. We here used high-density EEG to examine similarity non-manipulable (chairs) bodily stimuli (hands). selected chairs because they appear in a recognizable left-right orientation are automatically associated with manual action. Participants had identical response...
Abstract The prospect of a reward can enhance cognitive performance. For younger men financial gains, and for older adults women prosocial rewards, seem particularly motivating. We therefore investigated whether adding component to enhanced performance and, if so, this depended on age or sex. randomly assigned 571 participants one three types (financial reward, combination both) in monetary incentive delay task. used linear effects modelling examine age, sex, type trial accuracy, response...
The ability to remember future intentions (i.e., prospective memory) is influenced by attentional control. At the neuronal level, frontal and parietal brain regions have been related control memory. It debated, however, whether more or less activity in these beneficial for older adults' performance. We will test that systematically enhancing inhibiting with anodal cathodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation adults. include n = 105 healthy volunteers (60-75 years of age)...
Abstract Background Prospective memory is important for our health and independence but declines with age. Hence, interventions to enhance prospective memory, example by providing an incentive, may promote healthy ageing. The neuroanatomical correlates of the processing incentive-related changes in older adults are not fully understood. In fMRI study, we will therefore test whether incentives improve how processed brain general, when provided. Since goals interests change across adulthood,...
