Previous studies have examined how age-related differences in time perception affect intertemporal choices. However, the impact of time perception strategy on intertemporal decision-making among older adults remains unclear. This study was designed to examine how timing perception strategy influence decision-making among older adults while also exploring the possible mechanisms. We manipulated timing perception strategy preferences through priming in two experiments (Experiment 1, n = 160; Experiment 2, n = 129). Both intertemporal decision-making tasks and matching tasks were used to validate the findings. The results indicated that younger adults tend to prefer external strategy, which is associated with a longer subjective time perception and a stronger inclination toward immediate rewards. In contrast, older adults were more likely to prefer internal strategy, which correlates with a shorter subjective time perception and a preference for delayed gratification. Moreover, subjective time perception played a fully mediating role in the impact of timing perception strategy on intertemporal decision-making, with age moderating the influence of these strategies on subjective time perception. These findings suggest that the influence of timing perception strategy on intertemporal decision-making may be mediated by subjective time perception and that differences in strategy preferences could help explain age-related difference in decision-making preferences. This study provides a novel perspective on the mechanisms behind age-related differences in intertemporal decision-making by revealing how cognitive and time perception uniquely shape decision-making processes in older adults.","PeriodicalId":7532,"journal":{"name":"Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition","volume":" ","pages":"636-657"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less is known about the variation in the magnitude of neighborhood effects across individual cognitive domains and whether the strength of these associations differs by individual-level factors. The current study investigated these questions in a community sample of older adults (N = 166, mean age = 72.5 years, 51% women), who reported current addresses, linked to state-level Area Deprivation Index rankings, and completed remote and validated neuropsychological tests of verbal intelligence (North American Adult Reading Test), verbal fluency (Controlled Oral Word Association Test), attention (Digit Span Forward), and working memory (Digit Span Backward and Sequencing, Letter-Number Sequencing). Linear regressions tested associations between neighborhood disadvantage and each cognitive test, controlling for individual-level factors (age, sex, education). Exploratory analyses tested moderation by each individual-level factor. Independent of individual-level factors, greater neighborhood disadvantage was associated with lower cognitive performance across domains: verbal intelligence (β = 0.30, p < .001), verbal fluency (β = -0.19, p = .014), attention (β = -0.19, p = .024), and two of three tests of working memory (β = -0.17- -0.22, ps = .004-.039). Results were robust to correction for multiple comparisons and tests of spatial autocorrelation. In addition, higher neighborhood disadvantage was associated with lower verbal fluency for older - but not younger-older adults (p = .035) and with poorer working memory in women but not men (p < .001). Education did not moderate associations. Findings suggest that older adults living in more disadvantaged neighborhoods exhibit lower cognitive performance, particularly in the domain of verbal intelligence. Continued investigation of effect modification may be fruitful for uncovering for whom associations are strongest.","PeriodicalId":7532,"journal":{"name":"Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition","volume":" ","pages":"621-635"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, consensus on whether higher (magnification account) or lower (compensation account) pretraining abilities predict greater training effects remains elusive. Our study aimed to clarify the role of fluid reasoning in predicting training performance (i.e. training scores at each session) and gains on near transfer WM tasks. We conducted two studies: Study 1 focused on middle-aged adults (47-65 years) and Study 2 on older adults (65-83 years). Participants in both studies were randomly assigned to either adaptive n-back training or an active control group and have all completed three WM tasks before and after 20 training sessions - the trained n-back task and two structurally different untrained tasks. Generally, greater average training scores were found in individuals with higher fluid reasoning for both age groups, although this trend did not reach statistical significance in older adults. Similarly, higher fluid reasoning predicted greater training gains only in the sample of middle-aged adults. Further analysis showed that both, middle-aged and older participants in the training groups exhibited higher gains on the trained n-back task but not on two other WM tasks. Additionally, fluid reasoning predicted n-back gains in both the training and control group. Consistent with a growing body of research, our results show limited generalization of training effects across untrained tasks. It seems that factors beyond pretraining ability should be considered when explaining between-participant differences in training performance.","PeriodicalId":7532,"journal":{"name":"Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition","volume":" ","pages":"598-620"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the present study examined contributions of selective attention to aMCI-related inhibition deficits using computational modeling of attentional dynamics.

In a randomized controlled trial, we investigated whether these benefits could extend to language comprehension in healthy older adults, and whether bilinguals, for whom language processing is more costly, would exhibit greater benefits than monolinguals. Eighty older English monolinguals and 80 older Norwegian-English bilinguals were randomized into either a 6-month exercise training group or into a passive control group. We assessed CRF (VO2peak) and language comprehension (reaction times to spoken word monitoring) in first (L1, all participants) and second language (L2, bilinguals only), before and after the intervention. We found that monolinguals in the exercise group (compared to the control group) were faster in comprehension following the intervention. Moreover, this effect was mediated by exercise-induced increases in VO2peak, supporting the CRF hypothesis. This extends previous cross-sectional research and establishes a causal link between exercise training and speeded comprehension in older monolinguals. However, despite inducing increased VO2peak, exercise training did not affect bilingual (L1 or L2) comprehension, and bilinguals in both groups were slower after the intervention period. Exploratory analyses suggested that this slowing may be driven by participants with low L2 proficiency, but further research is needed to examine whether bilingual language processing is in fact unaffected by exercise training and its consequent improvements in CRF.","PeriodicalId":7532,"journal":{"name":"Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition","volume":" ","pages":"485-517"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed a group of healthy young adults (18-25 years old) and a group of healthy older adults (60-83 years old) with the VSTMBT synchronized with ET. The VSTMBT required participants to detect changes across two consecutive arrays of either two or three bicolored objects. They were asked to remember the object's colors either separately (Unbound Colors Condition, UC) or combined (Bound Colors Condition, BC). We collected behavioral responses, fixation duration, saccade amplitude, and pupil dilation. Older adults remembered fewer objects but that was similar in the UC and BC conditions. Both age groups showed decreased saccade amplitudes and longer fixation duration in the BC condition, with no differential impact of age. Pupil dilation was lower in older adults, but such a behavior was equivalent across the UC and BC conditions. These null findings were confirmed by Bayesian analysis.

There were no differences between the groups on everyday memory failures and prospective memory. Both groups showed significant increases in aspects of subjective memory ability from pretest to posttest, with the EMMI group producing greater improvements in memory self-efficacy. The control group differentially improved in associative memory after memory-strategy training.
