Abstract

Understanding how aging shapes neural mechanisms of decision-making across diverse contexts is critical to promote adaptive choices throughout the lifespan. To this purpose, we examined how age and decision context influence neural processes preceding and following decisions.

Research summary

The paper claims that age and decision context influence neural processes in decision-making. This research is relevant as it explores how aging affects cognitive processes, which is essential for understanding decision-making across the lifespan and promoting adaptive choices.
