Cognitive aging is often described in the context of loss or decline. Emerging research
suggests that the story is more complex, with older adults showing both losses and gains in …

Declines in episodic memory in older adults are typically attributed to differences in
encoding strategies and/or retrieval processes. These views omit a critical factor in age …

Although humans have a remarkable capacity to recall a wealth of detail from the past, there
are marked interindividual differences in the quantity and quality of our mnemonic …

The neural mechanisms contributing to flexible cognition and behavior and how they
change with development and aging are incompletely understood. The current study …

The intrinsic functional organization of the brain changes into older adulthood. Age
differences are observed at multiple spatial scales, from global reductions in modularity and …

The human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC; approximately corresponding to
Brodmann areas 9 and 46) has demonstrable roles in diverse executive functions such as …

Changes in cognition, affect, and brain function combine to promote a shift in the nature of
mentation in older adulthood, favoring exploitation of prior knowledge over exploratory …

Aging is associated with functional activation changes in domain-specific regions and large-
scale brain networks. This preregistered Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Central to understanding human behavior is a comprehensive mapping of brain-behavior
relations within the context of lifespan development. Reproducible discoveries depend upon …

Creative thinking is associated with connectivity between the default and executive control
networks in the young brain. In aging, this pattern of functional coupling has been observed …
