Clara Sanches at SfN
Clara Sanches presented her poster at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in Washington DC, on a drift-diffusion model analysis of cognitive slowing in aging. In contrast with many prior studies comparing cohorts of younger and older adults (in which variability in recruitment across cohorts can lead to uncontrolled differences), or studies analyzing parameters derived from a single task, this work analyzes the effect of age as a continuous variable across a single cohort of older adults verified as neurologically healthy, in three quite different task contexts (decision-making, emotion recognition, and memory).
