Age-related differences in supervisory attentional system functions.
The authors explored the effect of age on executive functions by using 3 tasks (Tower of London, Hayling, and Brixton tests) designed to assess specific executive processes (planning, inhibition, and abstraction of logical rules) that were also sensitive to frontal dysfunction. The performance of elderly participants (n = 48) was significantly poorer than that of young participants (n = 47) in ...
متن کاملage and attentional focus related differences in postural control
postural control has an important role in daily activities and motor independence. in recent years, conscious aspects of postural control such as attention and cognitive processes have received attention for balance optimization performance. therefore, the present study designed to examine the age–related differences in postural control in the internal and external focus of attention. for this ...
متن کاملSupervisory attentional system in nonamnesic alcoholic men.
BACKGROUND Many studies have shown that recently detoxified alcoholic persons perform poorly on tasks thought to be sensitive to frontal lobe damage, supporting the hypothesis that the frontal lobes are highly vulnerable to chronic alcohol consumption. However, it appeared that most of the executive tasks used in these studies also involved nonexecutive components, and these tasks had been show...
متن کاملAge-related differences in attentional bias for emotional faces.
Past research suggests an aging-related positivity effect in orienting to faces. However, these studies have eschewed direct comparison of orienting when positive and negative faces are presented simultaneously, thereby potentially underestimating the degree to which emotional valence influences such effects. In the current study younger and older adults viewed face pairs for 1000 ms, and upon ...
متن کاملAre Age-Related Differences Uniform Across Different Inhibitory Functions?
OBJECTIVES In the current experiment, we examined the relative age-sensitivity of 3 inhibitory functions: access, deletion, and restraint by taking into consideration their underlying control processes: proactive and reactive control. METHODS The 3 inhibitory functions were measured using a sequential flanker task. Young (age: 18-35, n = 24) and older adults (age: 60-75, n = 25) first memoriz...
