Age-related changes in early novelty processing as measured by ERPs
(Elsevier BV, 2009)This study investigated age-related changes in the early processing of novel visual stimuli using ERPs. Well-matched old (n=30), middle-aged (n=30), and young (n=32) subjects were presented standard, target/rare, and ... -
Age-related differences in enhancement and suppression of neural activity underlying selective attention in matched young and old adults
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Selective attention reflects the top-down control of sensory processing that is mediated by enhancement or inhibition of neural activity. ERPs were used to investigate age-related differences in neural activity in an ... -
Compensatory neural activity distinguishes different patterns of normal cognitive aging
(Elsevier BV, 2008)Most cognitive neuroscientific research exploring the nature of age-associated compensatory mechanisms has compared old adults (high vs. average performers) to young adults (not split by performance), leaving ambiguous ... -
Does compensatory neural activity survive old-old age?
(Elsevier BV, 2011)One mechanism that may allow older adults to continue to successfully perform certain cognitive tasks is to allocate more resources than their younger counterparts. Most prior studies have not included individuals beyond ... -
The impact of visual acuity on age-related differences in neural markers of early visual processing
(Elsevier BV, 2013)The extent to which age-related differences in neural markers of visual processing are influenced by changes in visual acuity has not been systematically investigated. Studies often indicate that their subjects had normal ... -
Increasing Working Memory Load Reduces Processing of Cross-Modal Task-Irrelevant Stimuli Even after Controlling for Task Difficulty and Executive Capacity
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)The classic account of the load theory (LT) of attention suggests that increasing cognitive load leads to greater processing of task-irrelevant stimuli due to competition for limited executive resource that reduces the ... -
Personal familiarity infl uences the processing of upright and inverted faces in infants
(Frontiers Media SA, 2010)Infant face processing becomes more selective during the fi rst year of life as a function of varying experience with distinct face categories defined by species, race, and age. Given that any individual face belongs to ...
