Gender differences in neural mechanisms underlying moral sensitivity.
Researchers have proposed that females and males differ in the structure of their moral attitudes, such that females tend to adopt care-based moral evaluations and males tend to adopt justice-based moral evaluations. The existence of these gender differences remains a controversial issue, as behavioral studies have reported mixed findings. The current study investigated the neural correlates of...
متن کاملMechanisms 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 differences in the underlying mechanisms of stereotype threat effects.
OBJECTIVES The goals of the present study were to (a) examine whether age differences exist in the mechanisms underlying stereotype threat effects on cognitive performance and (b) examine whether emotion regulation abilities may buffer against threat effects on performance. METHOD Older and younger adults were exposed to positive or negative age-relevant stereotypes, allowing us to examine th...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying the sensitivity of neurons in the lateral superior olive to interaural intensity differences.
The initial processing of interaural intensity differences (IIDs), the major cue to the azimuthal location of high-frequency sounds in mammals, is carried out by neurons in the lateral superior olivary nucleus (LSO) that receive excitatory input from the ipsilateral ear and inhibitory input from the contralateral ear (IE neurons). The "latency" hypothesis asserts that it is the effects of inten...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying age-related differences in ability to recover balance with the ankle strategy.
Falls cause substantial death and morbidity in the elderly. An important prerequisite to the development of fall prevention interventions is improved understanding of the biomechanical and neuromuscular variables that govern ability to recover balance. In the present study, we examined the relative importance of strength versus speed of response variables in explaining differences in balance re...
