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

Older adults from East Asia showed almost adaptation in the lateral occipital complex.

Neuroscience approaches can explain how the brain influences performance, and investigating in the maturing brains of and .

is tool used to produce images of the brain.

in older adults persist in the adult brain and can generate new ones throughout the life span.

Evidence suggests that volume shrinkage in the brain is linked to poor performance on certain tasks.

Which part of the brain appears to be relatively spared in the aging adult?

Researchers in neuroscience analyze both structural changes in brain volume and density and changes of brain areas.

Which approach attempts to link measures of cognitive performance to measures of brain structure or functioning?

Recently the availability of Neuroscientific methods stimulated research that allows us to study processes and changes.

is a multifaceted concept that applies across the life span, and involves the interaction between the brain and the environment and is mostly used to describe the effects of experience on the structure and functions of the neural system.

Which of the following brain area is associated with automatic social cognition?

Research has shown that if information has significance, we will more likely remember it than information that is more in nature.

Core emotional memory network regions are well in emotional memory, as one grows older.

are strategies which involve using personally relevant cues to help one remember information.

Which approach attempts to directly link functional brain activity with cognitive behavioral data?

Bilateral activation in older adults may serve a functional and supportive role in their functioning.

Neuroscience research demonstrates that areas of the brain related to visual processing with age.

Reduced brain activation or of the prefrontal cortex occurs during intentional cognitive processing.

The approach compares brain functioning of healthy older adults with adults displaying various pathological disorders in the brain.

Evidence that older adults undergo that allow them to adapt to the inevitable decline of specific areas of the brain.
