This study investigated how age and age simulation affect gross-motor sequence learning, focusing on acquisition, execution performance, explicit recall, and retention performance. We tested 74 participants belonging to five groups: young adults aged 18-27 years without (n = 14) or with (n = 15) an age simulation suit, middle-aged adults aged 30-59 years without (n = 15) or with (n = 15) the suit, and older adults aged 60-86 years without the suit (n = 15). Participants in the suit condition wore the GERonTologic Simulator age suit (Moll, 2021), which simulates age-related physical impairments by reducing sensory perception, flexibility, and strength. Participants performed a fixed 10-element gross-motor sequence task requiring full-body movements over 28 practice trials. Explicit sequence recall was assessed after acquisition, and a retention test was conducted on the following day. All groups demonstrated implicit sequence learning and maintained their performance levels from the end of acquisition to the retention test. However, young adults without the suit exhibited the fastest execution times and highest explicit recall scores. Notably, the suit significantly impaired execution performance and explicit recall in both younger and middle-aged adults, indicating that peripheral impairments can hinder explicit memory formation even when implicit learning remains intact. These findings highlight the significant impact of peripheral sensorimotor declines on gross-motor sequence learning and memory formation across the adult lifespan. The results underscore the importance of considering both cognitive and sensorimotor factors in motor learning research.

We designed a real-life intervention using mobile-based shopping applications over 22 weeks and examined its effects on cognitive function. We recruited 102 healthy Malaysian older adults (Mage = 66.18, SD = 4.95) who were randomly assigned to three conditions: experimental, active control, and passive control. The first two groups had weekly sessions but not the latter. The experimental group completed tasks designed to assess inhibition and working memory-updating using online shopping applications (trained applications) with varying difficulty levels, whereas active control participants freely interacted with the same applications without any training instructions. All groups completed assessment sessions in the baseline, posttest, and a 1-month follow-up, including noncomputerized versions of Stroop, Digit Span, and the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, and an untrained application (Tripadvisor) measuring inhibition and working memory-updating. Data were analyzed using Bayesian analysis of variance and multivariate multiple regression. Results showed that the experimental group performed better in the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3 s compared to the passive control, suggesting training gains in working memory-updating. The experimental group performed better in inhibition and working memory-updating in the untrained application compared to both control groups, indicating a near transfer effect. In summary, our findings provide evidence that cognitive stimulation by tasks using online shopping activities on mobile phones is beneficial for older adults' cognitive function.

Using a visual discrimination paradigm, we parametrically manipulated perceptual load, discrimination precision, and response rule complexity. Participants included younger (N = 36; aged 19-33) and older adults (N = 36; aged 56-82). Task performance was measured using inverse efficiency scores (IES), and functional magnetic resonance imaging assessed brain activation. Older adults demonstrated disproportionately higher IES, especially under the most complex condition, suggesting reduced efficiency with rising demand. fMRI revealed widespread frontoparietal network activation differences, with older adults showing increased recruitment of frontal regions compared with younger adults, especially at higher task demands. Critically, prefrontal overactivation in older adults correlated negatively with performance at the highest demand level, indicating capacity-limited compensation. Additionally, older adults exhibited reduced default mode network suppression and diminished dorsal attention network recruitment, both of which were associated with poorer task performance. These findings support the compensation-related utilization of neural circuits hypothesis, which predicts a transition from adaptive to inefficient recruitment as cognitive demands increase. They also align with broader frameworks such as the posterior-anterior shift in aging and the revised scaffolding theory of aging and cognition, emphasizing the role of task complexity in shaping compensatory patterns. Overall, the adaptiveness of neural overactivation in older adults appears to depend on its relationship to both task demands and behavioral performance.

The inhibitory deficit hypothesis proposes that coherence declines in later life are due to a reduced ability to inhibit these irrelevant ideas. However, the existing evidence in support of this view is correlational. We performed an experimental test of the hypothesis by asking young (18-25) and older (70-90) participants to produce discourse on a range of topics while attending to two types of visual distractors: images of meaningful concepts and meaningless abstract patterns. The overall global coherence of responses was lower when participants were distracted (cf. no distraction) but this effect was not larger for meaningful distractors. Participants also spoke more slowly under distraction. These effects did not differ between age groups. Critically, however, in the meaningful distractor condition, responses diverged from the original topic more quickly than in the other conditions. This effect was only present in older participants. These results suggest two underlying effects at play. First, performing a concurrent task has a general effect on the speed and coherence of discourse, which in this study was age-invariant. Second, for older people, tasks that activate a series of irrelevant semantic representations have an additional cumulative effect on discourse content, causing it to deviate off topic more rapidly. Our results support the inhibitory deficit hypothesis and suggest that older people can improve their coherence by avoiding semantically laden environmental distractors like TV or radio programes.

Neighborhood-level exposures that adversely influence cognitive aging may be distinct for Black women given historical and contemporary structural racism and sexism and their influence on neighborhood environments, which, in turn, adversely affect the cognitive health of Black women. This study examined the cross-sectional association between the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and subjective cognitive function among 20,768 Black Women's Health Study cohort participants (Mage = 64.6, SD = 7.22). Multinomial logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for moderate (1-2 concerns) and poor (≥ 3 concerns) versus good (0 concerns) subjective cognitive function associated with quintiles of ADI ascertained in 2015. In the unadjusted model, greater neighborhood disadvantage was associated with subjective cognitive impairment. However, this association was fully attenuated after adjusting for education. Results suggest neighborhood-level disadvantage, as measured by the ADI, is not associated with increased cognitive concerns after accounting for education among Black women. Although the ADI is well-established as a correlate of many health outcomes, primarily in White individuals, it has rarely been used in samples of exclusively Black individuals. Different measures of the neighborhood environment may be more pertinent for differentiating risk among Black women or for predicting subjective cognitive function.

However, narratives about aging remain underexamined, limiting our understanding of narrative identity processes over the life course. We explored individuals' narratives on aging, examining how narrative themes vary across age, gender, and race and relate to four domains of self-reported well-being (psychological well-being, generativity, physical health, body image). We analyzed narrative scenes from 143 late midlife adults (62% women, 38% men; 58% White, 40% Black, 2% interracial/other) twice, first at Mage = 60.37 (SD = 0.90; n = 135) and again at Mage = 64.5 (SD = 0.95; n = 136). Participants responded to questions about stability versus change in personal identity and feelings about the aging process. We coded five narrative themes: agency, communion, closure, self-actualization, and exploratory processing. Results showed that exploratory processing was the only narrative theme to show significant mean-level change (increase) over time. Black participants scored higher than White participants on agency, self-actualization, and closure; no gender differences were found. Most narrative themes predicted well-being measures in models controlling for race. In particular, self-actualization predicted all four measures, and agency predicted all but generativity. Psychological well-being was predicted by four of five themes, and physical health/fitness was predicted by three. We interpret these findings in the context of the interplay of race, gender, and master narratives and highlight the importance of narrative identity processes to well-being in late midlife, with implications for understanding diverse aging experiences.

Previous studies found larger costs of task switching with modality-incompatible mappings (auditory-manual and visual-vocal) compared to modality-compatible mappings (auditory-vocal and visual-manual). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether older adults show increased effects of modality compatibility in task switching and whether this age-related performance difference can be reduced with sufficient preparation time. Young adults (n = 44, Mage = 20.6 years) and older adults (n = 44, Mage = 70.9 years) were presented with simultaneous auditory and visual stimuli (i.e., bimodal stimulation) both at the same side or at different sides. In each trial, the target modality was indicated by a preceding cue in the target modality (i.e., auditory or visual target), which could switch versus repeat from trial to trial. Participants responded to the position of the target either manually or vocally based on prior instructions and the cue, while the cue-target interval was varied to examine task-set preparation. Importantly, in modality-compatible blocks, visual targets were mapped to manual responses and auditory targets to vocal responses, whereas this mapping was reversed in modality-incompatible blocks. Older adults showed both larger mixing costs and larger switch costs generally, and both types of costs were also larger with modality-incompatible mappings. Longer preparation time led to generally reduced switch costs, but this was not age-specific. Together, the data suggest that shielding against modality-specific crosstalk is impaired in older adults in contexts requiring updating of multimodal modality mappings.

We apply multilevel models to experience sampling data including daily assessments of health, frequency of social interactions (face-to-face, telephone, and digital text-based) and well-being (positive and negative affect, loneliness) from 118 older adults (Mage = 71.75; SDage = 5.05). Between subjects, fewer health complaints were associated with higher well-being. Within-subjects, well-being was higher on days when subjects reported better health and fewer health complaints than their average. The findings regarding the buffering effects were inconsistent: In line with our hypothesis, on days with more face-to-face interactions, the effect of daily self-reported health on loneliness was smaller. Similarly, on days with more telephone interactions, the effects of daily self-reported health on positive affect and loneliness were smaller. Furthermore, for participants who experienced more telephone calls than others, the effect of overall health complaints on negative affect and loneliness was smaller. For participants who experienced more digital text-based social interactions than others, the effect of overall health complaints on positive affect and the effect of self-reported health on loneliness were weaker. Follow-up analyses that examined the pleasantness of social interaction as a buffering factor show that pleasantness did not buffer adverse effects of poor health on well-being more consistently than the frequency of social interactions did. Taken together, our findings show that poor health is a risk factor for well-being and social interactions in different modalities might partially buffer those adverse effects.

Integrative personality frameworks imply that variability in daily life experiences has the potential to evoke longer term changes in personality over time. However, strong tests of this assumption across the adult lifespan are relatively rare. We examined the interrelations between changes in daily stress reactivity and changes in Big Five personality traits over a nearly 20-year period. Three measurement bursts from the National Study of Daily Experiences (N = 2,022; 55% female) each included daily measures of stressor exposure and negative affect across eight consecutive days (yielding 33,942 days of data across 18 years of adulthood). At each wave, participants reported on their personality traits (i.e., openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism). Multilevel structural equation modeling simultaneously modeled stress reactivity at Level 1; longitudinal changes in stress reactivity at Level 2; and the interrelations between changes in stress reactivity and changes in personality traits at Level 3. Higher reactivity at baseline was associated with lower levels of extraversion and conscientiousness and higher levels of neuroticism at baseline. Further, increases in reactivity across the 18-year period were associated with declines in extraversion, agreeableness, and openness. Changes in reactivity were not related to changes in neuroticism or conscientiousness. These findings clarify how changes in daily experiences are related to broader personality changes and inform integrative frameworks of personality development across the adult lifespan.
