Results from structural moderation and mediation analyses showed that harmonious passion facilitated greater use of secondary control strategies, particularly positive reappraisal, which was linked to enhanced well-being and reduced ill-being. These effects were magnified among individuals who perceived a decline in their expertise, suggesting that harmonious passion may foster adaptive flexibility in the face of normative losses. Obsessive passion was negatively related to self-regulation and unrelated to psychological outcomes.

However, multisensory aging studies rarely make direct comparisons with unisensory tasks, and past research into age-related changes in cognitive control has focused heavily on unisensory stimuli. It is therefore unclear whether previously reported age differences are specific to multisensory perception or instead result from general impairments to cognitive control.

No age-related decline in performance was found in any unisensory condition. The groups also responded similarly to multisensory stimuli in the absence of task switching. However, older adults performed markedly worse during multisensory task switching, particularly in response to incongruent stimuli.

Older adults are usually more affected than younger ones, which is attributed to age-related changes in the cognitive processes needed to cope with interruptions, especially with respect to attentional control and working memory. Here, we investigated whether the benefits of prolonged or self-determined timing when dealing with interruptions, which we found in a previous study, become more pronounced with age. Twenty-eight younger (18-30 years) and 31 older participants (55-70 years) performed a retrospective cue (retro-cue)-based working memory task, in which the orientations of a set of colored bars had to be remembered and retrieved in response to a retro-cue. This primary task was randomly interrupted with an arithmetic task presented before the retro-cue, with the time after the interruption and before the retro-cue being either short (500 ms), long (1,500 ms), or self-determined. Interruptions impaired performance, and the older group performed overall worse than the younger group. Especially the older group benefited from that flexibility, which led to an improvement in performance up to the level of the younger group. Accordingly, the electroencephalography in the flexible condition showed an equally strong α activity in both groups at the time of the retro-cue, suggesting an improvement in the retrieval of task-relevant information from working memory. Overall, the study shows that in work situations in which interruptions cannot be avoided, flexibility in resumption following these interruptions can help older employees to compensate for age-related changes in cognitive abilities.

A total of 120 participants (<i>M</i> = 70.30, <i>SD</i> = 5.84) were randomly assigned to one of four groups: updating, inhibition, combined training, or an active control group (communication skills).

Across three experiments, younger and older adults completed word-pair WM tasks that independently manipulated episodic and semantic LTM support (Experiment 1a: <i>N</i> = 56 younger adults, <i>N</i> = 56 older adults; Experiment 1b: <i>N</i> = 55 younger adults; Experiment 2: <i>N</i> = 59 younger adults, <i>N</i> = 60 older adults).

The results show that both younger and older adults reliably benefited from episodic LTM support. Semantic relatedness also improved WM performance across age groups. Critically, analyses targeting underlying mechanisms indicated that the semantic benefit arose from facilitated formation of episodic traces within the activated portion of LTM, rather than from strengthened bindings maintained within WM itself. Together, these findings demonstrate that WM flexibly draws on episodic and semantic LTM and that this capacity remains largely intact in older adulthood.

While the factors contributing to speech production difficulties are relatively well documented, far less is known about how speech production might be supported. This study examined whether brief cues presented during the speech conceptual preparation stage (i.e., the internal generation and organization of ideas prior to articulation) facilitate propositional speech production. Thirty-two younger and 26 older adults completed a propositional speech production task that required internally generated responses to complex scenes following a 5-s preparation interval. During this preparation phase, task-relevant, nonsemantic visual or auditory stimuli were presented (or absent). Two-way mixed analyses of variance and regression analyses were conducted to examine group and stimulus effects, relationships between response latency and speech errors, and the role of cognitive predictors. In the absence of external stimuli, older adults produced less fluent (more filled pauses) speech with lower propositional density and exhibited a weaker relationship between response latency and errorless speech than younger adults. The presence of brief visual or auditory stimuli significantly reduced dysfluency and increased propositional density in older adults, indicating that such cues could facilitate conceptual preparation. However, regardless of cue condition, older adults exhibited slower response initiation, reduced speech rate, and higher error rates. Across both age groups, auditory cueing was associated with faster yet less accurate performance. These findings suggest that brief, meaningless cues could facilitate sustained engagement in idea generation and expression in older adults, though their potential value in everyday communication remains to be tested with naturalistic paradigms.
