Brief Communication Age-related declines in the fidelity of newly acquired category representations
We present a theory suggesting that the ability to build category representations that reflect the nuances of category structures in the environment depends upon clustering mechanisms instantiated in an MTL-PFC-based circuit. Because function in this circuit declines with age, we predict that the ability to build category representations will be impaired in older adults. Consistent with this pr...

متن کاملAge-related Declines in the Fidelity of Newly Acquired Category Representations
Supplementary Materials Methods Subjects Thirty-Seven older adults (Average age = 69.65; Range = 59-82) and 32 younger adults (Average age = 20; Range = 18-26) participated in the experiment for monetary compensation. Older adults were given several standardized neuropsychological tests in a pre-screening session to ensure that they fell within normal ranges (see Procedure). All older adults we...
متن کاملConsequences of age-related cognitive declines.
Adult age differences in a variety of cognitive abilities are well documented, and many of those abilities have been found to be related to success in the workplace and in everyday life. However, increased age is seldom associated with lower levels of real-world functioning, and the reasons for this lab-life discrepancy are not well understood. This article briefly reviews research concerned wi...
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
