Abstract We investigated the hypothesis that increased prefrontal activations in older adults are compensatory for decreases medial-temporal occur with age. Because scene encoding engages both hippocampal and sites, we examined incidental of scenes by 14 young 13 a subsequent memory paradigm using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Behavioral results indicated there were equivalent numbers remembered forgotten items, which did not vary as function In an fMRI analysis subtracting...

Abstract The lateral prefrontal cortex undergoes both structural and functional changes with healthy aging. In contrast, there is little change in the medial cortex, but relatively known about to this region age. Using an event-related fMRI design, we investigated response of during self-referencing order compare age groups on a task that young elderly perform similarly actively engage adults. Nineteen (M = 23) seventeen 72) judged whether adjectives described themselves, another person, or...

The present study investigates potential age differences in the self-reference effect. Young and older adults incidentally encoded adjectives by deciding whether adjective described them, another person (Experiments 1 & 2), was a trait they found desirable (Experiment 3), or presented upper case. Like young adults, exhibited superior recognition for self-referenced items relative to with alternate orienting tasks, but self-referencing did not restore their memory level of adults....

Objectives. Although empathy is a well-established motivation in younger adults for helping others, it not known whether this extends to aging. Prioritization of socioemotional goals with age may increase the salience others (i.e., prosocial behavior), but older also experience decreased cognitive empathy. Thus, we investigated age-related differences relationships among and behavior.

Age differences in frontal and hippocampal activations working memory were investigated during a maintenance subsequent probe interval an event-related fMRI design. Younger older adults either viewed or maintained photographs of real-world scenes (extended visual conditions) over 4-sec before responding to fragment from the studied picture. Behavioral accuracy was largely equivalent across age conditions on task, but underlying neural differed. not showed increased left anterior extended...

Abstract Using fMR adaptation, we studied the effects of aging on neural processing passively viewed naturalistic pictures composed a prominent object against background scene. Spatially distinct regions showing specific patterns adaptation to objects, scenes, and contextual integration (binding) were identified in young adults. Older adults did not show responses corresponding binding medial-temporal areas. They also showed an deficit for objects whereby their lateral occipital complex...

Previous work has suggested that object and place processing are neuroanatomically dissociated in ventral visual areas under conditions of passive viewing. It also been shown the hippocampus parahippocampal gyrus mediate integration objects with background scenes functional imaging studies, but only when encoding or retrieval processes have directed toward relevant stimuli. Using magnetic resonance adaptation, we demonstrated object, scene, contextual selectively repeated could be during...

Research into the cognitive neuroscience of aging has revealed exciting and unexpected changes to brain over lifespan. However, studies have mostly been conducted on Western populations, raising doubts about universality age-related changes. Cross-cultural investigation provides a window stability with age due neurobiology, as well flexibility life experiences that impact cognition. Behavioral findings suggest different cultures process distinct aspects information employ diverse...

Self-referencing has been identified as an advantageous mnemonic strategy for young and older adults.However, little research investigated the ways in which self-referencing may influence adults' memory details, is typically impaired with age, beyond item itself.Experiment 1 assessed effects of self-and other-referencing on visually detailed pictures objects thirty-two adults.Results indicate that close similarly enhance general (item) specific (detail) recognition both adults relative to...

Abstract Self-referencing benefits item memory, but little is known about the ways in which referencing self affects memory for details. Experiment 1 assessed whether effects of self-referencing operate only at item, or general, level they also enhance specific visual details objects. Participants incidentally encoded objects by making judgements reference to self, a close other (one's mother), familiar (Bill Clinton). Results indicate that enhances both and general memory. Experiments 2 3...

Prior work has shown Americans have higher levels of memory specificity than East Asians. Neuroimaging studies not investigated mechanisms that account for cultural differences at retrieval. In this study, we use fMRI to assess whether mnemonic discrimination, distinguishing novel from previously encountered stimuli, accounts in memory. Fifty-five American and 55 Taiwanese young adults completed an object recognition paradigm testing discrimination old targets, similar lures foils. Mnemonic...

Understanding how aging influences cognition across different cultures has been hindered by a lack of standardized, cross-referenced verbal stimuli. This study introduces database such item-level stimuli for both younger and older adults, in China the United States, makes 3 distinct contributions. First, authors specify which item categories generalize age and/or cultural groups, rigorously quantifying differences among them. Second, they introduce novel, powerful methods to measure...
