Aging mind and brain: is implicit learning spared in healthy aging?
It is often held that although explicit learning declines in the course of normal aging, implicit learning is relatively preserved. Here we summarize research from our group which leads us to argue that some forms of implicit learning do decline with adult age. In particular, we propose that there are age-related declines in implicit learning of probabilistic sequential relationships that occur...
متن کاملImplicit spatial contextual learning in healthy aging.
Three experiments investigated the aging of implicit spatial and spatiotemporal context learning in 2 tasks. In contextual cuing, people learn to use repeated spatial configurations to facilitate search for a target, whereas in higher order serial learning, they learn to use subtle sequence regularities to respond more quickly and accurately to a series of events. Results reveal a dissociation;...
متن کاملBrain aging: reorganizing discoveries about the aging mind.
New discoveries challenge the long-held view that aging is characterized by progressive loss and decline. Evidence for functional reorganization, compensation and effective interventions holds promise for a more optimistic view of neurocognitive status in later life. Complexities associated with assigning function to age-specific activation patterns must be considered relative to performance an...
متن کاملPredictors of healthy brain aging.
To determine if superior health at old age protects against cognitive impairment (CI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), we prospectively studied 100 optimally healthy oldest-old (> or =85 years) individuals. Initially, subjects represented the top 3% of the oldest old for health. During 5.6 +/- 0.3 years of follow-up, 34 subjects developed CI, and 23 progressed to AD. By age 100, probability of CI ...
متن کاملAging in Orthodox Seeds is a Problem
Seed deterioration is loss of seed quality, viability and vigor due to effect of adverse environmental factors. Many of our crops are reproduced through seeds, and throughout the world large quantities are produced, stored and transported. Seed ageing during storage may cause retardation of field establishment, and may eventually result in seedling abnormalities or even failure of emergence. Du...
