This study examined the relationship between age and inhibitory functioning within a
sample of older adults ranging in age from 60 to 85 years old. On the basis of earlier …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews a number of studies that have implications for the
inhibitory decline hypothesis. Available data suggest that at several levels of information …

The authors examined the question of whether a decrease in the efficiency of inhibitory
processing with aging is a general phenomenon. Thirty elderly and 32 young adults …

The relations among age, inhibition, perceptual speed, susceptibility to interference, and
working memory were examined in a sample of 301 adults age 20 to 90. Younger adults …

The literature on inhibition and aging has grown steadily in the wake of Hasher &
Zacks'(1988) inhibitory deficit theory of cognitive aging. Not all of the findings support the …

Research has shown that age-related changes in cognitive performance are due mostly to
the decline of general factors such as working memory and inhibition. The present study is …

An implication of the hypothesis that failures of inhibition contribute to adult age differences
in working memory (Hasher & Zacks, 1988) is that statistical control of measures of inhibition …

Aging has been assumed to go along with deficient inhibitory processes in cognitive
performance. According to this inhibition deficit hypothesis, older adults are less able to …

Processing speed, inhibitory control and working memory have been identified as the main
possible culprits of age-related cognitive decline. This article describes a study of their …

The present study explored the relationship between inhibitory processing (as indexed by
identity negative priming in a letter-naming task), working memory, discourse processing …
