Gender Differences in Cognitive Ability from Age
This study, a cross-sectional study of adults who were administered the CNS Vital Signs test battery when it was being standardized, investigated whether there are gender differences in the rate of neurocognitive decline with age. As a group, men scored better on tests of visual memory, executive function and psychomotor speed. Women scored better in tests of verbal memory, processing speed, an...
متن کاملAge Differences in Deactivation: A Link to Cognitive Control?
The network of regions shown by functional imaging studies to be deactivated by experimental tasks relative to nominally more passive baselines (task < baseline) may reflect processes engaged during the resting state or "default mode." Deactivation may result when attention and resources are diverted from default-mode processes toward task processes. Aging is associated with altered patterns of...
متن کاملAge differences in callosal contributions to cognitive processes.
In many cases bilateral cortical activation in older adults has been associated with better task performance, suggesting that a greater reliance on interhemispheric interactions aids performance. Interhemispheric communication is primarily mediated via the corpus callosum (CC), however with advancing age the anterior half of the CC undergoes significant atrophy. Here we determine whether there ...
متن کاملPrefrontal mediation of age differences in cognitive reappraisal.
Despite cognitive and physical declines, it has been suggested that older adults remain able to regulate their emotions effectively. However, whether this is true for all emotion regulation processes has not been established. We hypothesized that cognitive reappraisal, a form of emotion regulation requiring intact cognitive control ability, may be compromised in older age, and that this age dif...
متن کاملWithin-cohort age-related differences in cognitive functioning.
It is widely accepted that the level of cognitive functioning can be influenced by characteristics of the environment that change over time. Many developmental researchers have referred to these influences as cohort effects, and have used year of birth as the basis for determining cohort membership. Furthermore, age-related differences in cognitive functioning are sometimes assumed to be primar...
