Mechanisms Underlying Age- and Performance-related Differences in Working Memory
This study took advantage of the subsecond temporal resolution of ERPs to investigate mechanisms underlying age- and performance-related differences in working memory. Young and old subjects participated in a verbal n-back task with three levels of difficulty. Each group was divided into high and low performers based on accuracy under the 2-back condition. Both old subjects and low-performing y...
متن کاملAge-related deficits in component processes of working memory.
Working memory deficits in normal aging have been well documented, and studies suggest that high memory load plus the presence of distraction negatively impacts successful memory performance to a greater degree in older individuals. However, characterization of the component processes that are impaired by these task manipulations is not clear. In this behavioral study, younger and older subject...
متن کاملAge-related differences in executive control of working memory.
In two experiments, we used dual-task methodology to assess the effect of aging on executive control of working memory. We hypothesized that (1) age-related dual-task costs would be observed even when individual tasks represent different perceptual modalities; (2) age would modulate the effect of increased temporal overlap on dual-task performance; and (3) the vulnerability of specific memory m...
متن کاملEarly selection versus late correction: Age-related differences in controlling working memory contents.
We examined whether a reduced ability to ignore irrelevant information is responsible for the age-related decline of working memory (WM) functions. By means of event-related brain potentials, we will show that filtering is not out of service in older adults but shifted to a later processing stage. Participants performed a visual short-term memory task (change-detection task) in which targets we...
متن کاملبررسی اثر چندشکلی ژنتیکی xrcc7 با ریسک ابتلا به بیماریamd age-related macular degeneration))
amd بیماری تحلیل شبکیه است که عامل اصلی کوری در افراد بالای 55 سال در جهان غرب به شمار می-رود. در اثر این بیماری، لیپوپروتئین ها در شبکیه تجمع پیدا کرده و رگ زایی القاء می شود. ثابت شده است که عوامل ژنوتوکسیک محیطی مثل سیگار کشیدن، رژیم غذایی و نور در افراد پیر با زمینه ی ژنتیکی مستعد در بروز بیماری دخیل می باشند. بنابراین ما یک مطالعه ی مـورد- شاهـدی را ترتیب دادیم که شـامل 112 فرد مبتلا به am...
