Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease marked by deficits in
episodic memory, working memory (WM), and executive function. Examples of executive …

Abstract “The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition (STAC)”, proposed in 2009, is a
conceptual model of cognitive aging that integrated evidence from structural and functional …

Healthy aging has been associated with decreased specialization in brain function. This
characterization has focused largely on describing age-accompanied differences in …

The availability of neuroimaging technology has spurred a marked increase in the human
cognitive neuroscience literature, including the study of cognitive ageing. Although there is a …

Verbal Working memory (vWM) capacity measures the ability to maintain and manipulate
verbal information for a short period of time. The specific neural correlates of this construct …

Age-related cognitive changes often include difficulties in retrieving memories, particularly
those that rely on personal experiences within their temporal and spatial contexts (ie …

Clinical anxiety and acute stress caused by major life events have well-documented
detrimental effects on cognitive processes, such as working memory (WM). However, less is …

Although connections between cognitive deficits and age-associated brain differences have
been elucidated, relationships with motor performance are less well understood. Here, we …

Is it possible to enhance neural and cognitive function with cognitive training techniques?
Can we delay age-related decline in cognitive function with interventions and stave off …

There are declines with age in speed of processing, working memory, inhibitory function,
and long-term memory, as well as decreases in brain structure size and white matter …
