Integrating Characteristics of Executive Functions in Non-Demented Aging: Structure, Trajectories, Classification, and Biomarker Predictors
DownloadSpring 2019
In aging, executive function (EF) performance (level) and change (trajectory) are linked to multiple interacting risk factors. Structurally, EFs have previously been represented as either a unitary (e.g., unidimensional) or diverse (e.g., multidimensional) set of abilities that change across the...

Investigating Human Brain Function and Human Brain Organization Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 4.7 T
DownloadFall 2020
Understanding the brain-cognition association has been a major goal of neuroscientists for more than 50 years. The discovery of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) contrast by Ogawa and colleagues (1990, 1992) has fundamentally transformed the field of...

Modeling the Transmission of Tuberculosis in Long-Term Care Facilities using a Network Model
DownloadFall 2012
Tuberculosis (TB) infection in the elderly is frequently misdiagnosed. The resulting treatment delay may increase TB transmission which is higher in long-term care (LTC) facilities. The CDC's recommendations to prevent and control TB in LTC facilities include TB education and better initial...

Background. Context use in sentence comprehension is fairly resistant to age-related cognitive decline; however, event-related potentials (ERPs) studies have shown age effects in neural activity associated with sentence comprehension, specifically when contextual information is manipulated. One...

Older Adults and Generativity: Developmental, Experimental, and Clinical Advances in Terror Management Theory
DownloadSpring 2013
Terror Management Theory (TMT) (Greenberg, Pyszczynski, & Solomon, 1986) offers an empirical framework to explore how human beings function despite their fear of death. TMT studies have shown that in order to buffer death anxiety, people strive to meet the standards of their cultural worldview. ...
