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 …

In addition to being a prerequisite for many activities of daily living, the ability to maintain
steady upright standing is a relevant model to study sensorimotor integrative function …

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

When the brain is not engaged in goal-directed activities and at rest, there are still
measureable patterns of activity. One resting-state network, the default mode network (DMN) …

Background During the aging process, physical capabilities (eg, muscular strength) and
cognitive functions (eg, memory) gradually decrease. Regarding cognitive functions …

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

The new edition of the authoritative book in the field of adult education—fully revised to
reflect the latest research and practice implications. For nearly three decades, Learning in …

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

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 …

Physical activity has been shown to improve cognitive functioning. Research has largely
focused on cognitive facilitation by cardiovascular exercise in older adults. Only few studies …
