Exam 2: Neuroscience As a Basis for Adult Development and Aging

Some studies have found prefrontal to be linked to working memory performance.

Older adults form Western cultures showed significantly object-processing adaptation in the lateral occipital complex.

A Neuroscientific approach to the study of aging has

Which of the following is not associated with neuroscience?

Processing speed rapidly as people age.

The neuroscience approach offers a new level of analysis to understanding and functioning.

Most significant findings in the cognitive aging neuroscience literature is the observed of neural activation patterns when comparing younger and older adults' brain activity during the performance of cognitive tasks.

Reduced frontal recruitment in aging is dependent.

The overall finding is that reduced working memory performance is related to activation of the anterior cingulated cortex in older adults compared to younger adults.

Using the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), studies examine WMH (white matter hyper intensities) have demonstrated that such disruptions may represent dysfunction of the cortex in older adulthood.

Lateral occipital complex is involved in processing.

Some studies have found prefrontal volume to be linked to memory performance.

Research shows that mice that were exposed to enriched environments performed much better on memory tasks.

Research on physical exercise in elderly mice the number of newly generate neurons and improved performance.

WMH in healthy older adults have been inked to cognitive test scores and executive functioning.

There is evidence on the degree to which social interventions, biological interventions, and interventions influence positive change and negative change, as we grow older.

The Cognitive neuroscience has shown associations between brain structures and a variety of cognitive tasks.

The activation imaging approach attempts to directly link functional brain activity with and data.

is the tool used to focus on the function of the brain.

Research has found that declines in the dopaminergic system are related to declines in memory and tasks.
