Older adults prefer less choice than young adults.
Previous research has demonstrated that older adults prefer less autonomy and seek less information when making decisions on their own relative to young adults (for a review, see M. Mather, 2006). Would older adults also prefer fewer options from which to choose? The authors tested this hypothesis in the context of different decision domains. Participants completed a choice preferences survey i...
متن کاملHeritability of intracortical inhibition and facilitation.
The present twin study investigates heritability of motor cortex excitability, measured by the paired pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation technique. Specifically, intracortical facilitation (ICF) and inhibition (ICI) and corticospinal excitability were tested in monozygotic (MZ), dizygotic (DZ), and unrelated pairs (UP). Robust ICF and ICI effects were found, with a higher similarity of MZ ...
متن کاملReduced intracortical inhibition and facilitation in the primary motor tongue representation of adults who stutter.
OBJECTIVE We aimed at detecting neurophysiological changes, in the primary motor tongue representation in adults with persistent stuttering. METHODS Using transcranial magnetic stimulation in 12 patients and 14 controls, we examined motor threshold, motor-evoked potential (MEP) input-output curve, short-term intracortical inhibition (SICI) and intracortical facilitation (ICF), based on eight ...
متن کاملInfluence of short-interval intracortical inhibition on short-interval intracortical facilitation in human primary motor cortex.
Using the paired-pulse paradigm, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has revealed much about the human primary motor cortex (M1). A preceding subthreshold conditioning stimulus (CS) inhibits the excitability of the motor cortex, which is named short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI). In contrast, facilitation is observed when the first pulse (S1) is followed by a second one at thresh...
متن کاملOlder adults' affective experiences across 100 days are less variable and less complex than younger adults'.
Older adults are often described as being more emotionally competent than younger adults, and higher levels of affect complexity are seen as an indicator of this competence. We argue, however, that once age differences in affect variability are taken into account, older adults' everyday affective experiences will be characterized by lower affect complexity when compared with younger adults'. In...
