The distinctiveness of neural information representation is crucial for successful memory
performance but declines with advancing age. Computational models implicate age-related …

Neural dedifferentiation, the finding that neural representations tend to be less distinct in
older adults compared with younger adults, has been associated with age-related declines …

Increasing age is associated with age-related neural dedifferentiation, a reduction in the
selectivity of neural representations, which has been proposed to contribute to cognitive …

Robust evidence points to mnemonic deficits in older adults related to dedifferentiated, ie
less distinct, neural responses during memory encoding. However, less is known about …

Long-standing theories of cognitive aging suggest that memory decline is associated with
age-related differences in the way information is neurally represented. Multivariate pattern …

Age-related neural dedifferentiation–reductions in the regional specificity and precision of
neural representations–is proposed to compromise the ability of older adults to form …

Older adults' difficulty in distinguishing between old and new information contributes to
memory decline, which may occur because older adults are less likely than young adults to …

Current theories of cognitive aging argue that neural representations become less distinctive
in old age, a phenomenon known as dedifferentiation. The present study used multi-voxel …

Emerging studies have emphasized the importance of the fidelity of cortical representation in
forming enduring episodic memory. No study, however, has examined whether there are …

The aging brain is characterized by neural dedifferentiation, an apparent decrease in the
functional selectivity of category-selective cortical regions. Age-related reductions in neural …
