[HTML][HTML] Functional dedifferentiation and altered connectivity in older adults: neural accounts of cognitive aging

JOS Goh - Aging and disease, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Aging is associated with myriad changes in behavioral performance and brain structure and
function. Given this complex interplay of brain and behavior, two streams of findings are …

[HTML][HTML] Distinct visual motion processing impairments in aging and Alzheimer's disease

V Kavcic, W Vaughn, CJ Duffy - Vision research, 2011 - Elsevier
Aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with declines in the visual perception of
self-movement that undermine navigation and independent living. We studied 214 subjects' …

[HTML][HTML] Crowding in a detection task: external noise triggers change in processing strategy

R Allard, P Cavanagh - Vision research, 2011 - Elsevier
External noise paradigms have been widely used to probe different levels of visual
processing (Pelli & Farell, 1999). A basic assumption of this paradigm is that the processing …
