Increasing misinformation spread poses a threat to older adults but there is little research on within the fake news literature. Embedded in Changes Integration for Social Decisions Aging (CISDA) model, this study examined role of (a) analytical reasoning; (b) affect; (c) consumption frequency, and their interplay with (d) content veracity detection aging. Conducted during early phase COVID-19 pandemic, present asked participants view evaluate COVID or non-COVID (i.e., everyday) articles,...
The roles of oxytocin (OT) and arginine-vasopressin (AVP) as crucial modulators social cognition related behaviours have been extensively addressed in the literature. involvement these neuropeptides ageing, however, a potential mediating effect basic cognitive capacities on this link, are not well understood. To fill research gaps, study assessed associations plasma OT AVP levels with dynamic emotion identification accuracy generally healthy older men (aged 55-95 years) probed underlying...
Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide critically involved in social cognition and behavior. Intranasal administration of OT has modulatory effects on both the brain behavior with potential for therapeutic benefit, especially individuals deficits socioemotional functions. have been well-investigated younger adults as well variety clinical populations (e.g., autism, schizophrenia), but there comparatively less investigation its function older adults. To foster more research aging, following dataset...
While aging is associated with social-cognitive change and oxytocin plays a crucial role in social cognition, oxytocin's effects on the brain older age remain understudied. To date, no study has examined of chronic intranasal administration mechanisms underlying animacy perception adults. Using placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blinded design generally healthy men (mean (SD) = 69(6); n 17 oxytocin; 14 placebo), this determined four-week (24 international units/twice day) functional MRI...
Increasing misinformation spread, including news about COVID-19, poses a threat to older adults but there is little empirical research on this population within the fake literature. Embedded in Changes Integration for Social Decisions Aging (CISDA) model, study examined role of (i) analytical reasoning; (ii) affect; and (iii) consumption frequency, their interplay with (iv) content, determining veracity detection aging during COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were randomly assigned view COVID...
Selective attention declines with age, due to age-related functional changes in dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) neurofeedback has been used young adults train volitional control of brain activity, including dACC.
Older age is associated with poorer ability to accurately infer mental states, but some states are more complex than others. Sarcasm a state because the literal and intended meaning of speaker's words in opposition. Individuals must rely on additional cues (e.g., facial expressions, intonation) for accurate inference. We hypothesized that understanding sarcastic versus sincere exchanges would be sensitive age-related difficulty understanding.
Abstract Substantial effort has gone into neuroimaging studies of neural mechanisms underlying addiction. Human smoking typically either give monetary reward during an fMRI task or else allow subjects to smoke outside the scanner, after session. This raises a fundamental issue construct validity, as it is unclear whether same process decisions about nicotine that money. To address this, we developed novel MR-compatible vaping device, such access vapor could be controlled and monitored. We...
