Task-Irrelevant Novel Sounds have Antithetical Effects on Visual Target Processing in Young and Old Adults
In young adults, primary visual task processing can be either enhanced or disrupted by novel auditory stimuli preceding target events, depending on task demands. Little is known about this phenomenon in older individuals, who, in general, are more susceptible to distraction. In the current study, age-related differences in the electrophysiological effects of task-irrelevant auditory stimuli on ...
متن کاملEffects of working memory training in young and old adults.
Many cognitive abilities, including working memory and reasoning ability, decline with progressing age. In this study, we investigated whether four weeks of intensive working memory training would enhance working memory and reasoning performance in an age-comparative setting. Groups of 34 young (19-36 years) and 27 older (62-77 years) adults practiced tasks representing the three functional cat...
متن کاملText comprehension products and processes in young, young-old, and old-old adults.
Aging may be associated with an increase in generalized text processing, particularly in adults older than 75 years. The current study examined text comprehension in young, young-old, and old-old adults. Experiment 1 included a comprehension measure (product) and Experiment 2 examined inferences generated during reading (process). Comprehension scores were lowest in old-old adults. Generalized ...
متن کاملTiming of reflexive visuospatial orienting in young, young-old, and old-old adults.
This study examined adult age differences in reflexive orienting to two types of uninformative spatial cues: central arrows and peripheral onsets. In two experiments using a Posner cuing task, young adults (ages 18-28 years), young-old adults (60-74 years), and old-old adults (75-92 years) responded to targets that were preceded 100-1,000 ms earlier by a central arrow or a peripheral abrupt ons...
متن کاملThe Effects of Semantic Relationships on the Irrelevant Sound Effect
This study investigated whether the degree of semantic relationship between audible distracter words and visually displayed to-be-remembered words impact short-term memory recall. Semantic relationship was defined as the level of synonymity between the two categories of words. Participants were divided into a control group receiving no distracters, a group in which distracter words and to-be-re...
