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 …

In this chapter we will focus on changes in working memory from young to late adulthood.
The construct of working memory has been central in the study of cognitive aging. Even prior …

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 …

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 …

Since its introduction in the 1970s, the concept of working memory has been a catalyst for
research (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974). Working memory is a powerful explanatory construct that …

This paper reviews research on age‐related changes in working memory and attention
control. This work is interpreted within a framework labeled “GOLDEN aging”(growing of …

The aim of the present study was to extend previous lifespan research to a wide age range
(5 to 80 year olds) and investigate any potential differences in the development and decline …

Research concerned with the interrelations of adult age, working memory, and cognitive
functioning is reviewed. It is proposed that evaluations of the effects of aging on working …

Neuroimaging data emphasize that older adults often show greater extent of brain activation
than younger adults for similar objective levels of difficulty. A possible interpretation of this …

Research concerned with relations between adult age and working memory is reviewed,
especially that relevant to the AD Baddeley (1986, 1992; Baddeley & G. Hitch, 1974) model …
