Social perception and aging: The relationship between aging and the perception of subtle changes in facial happiness and identity

Tao Yang, Tegan Penton, Şerife Leman Köybaşı, Michael J. Banissy

Acta Psychologica > 2017 > 179 > C > 23-29

Previous findings suggest that older adults show impairments in the social perception of faces, including the perception of emotion and facial identity. The majority of this work has tended to examine performance on tasks involving young adult faces and prototypical emotions. While useful, this can influence performance differences between groups due to perceptual biases and limitations on task performance...

Yi-Chen Lin, Ruey-Ching Hwang, Wen-Shuenn Deng, Y.C. Lin, more

Economic Modelling > 2015 > 49 > Complete > 372-386

We examine the evolution of the mechanism behind subjective well-being (SWB) across the lifespan using data from the 1972–2010 waves of the U.S. General Social Survey. By estimating a semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear ordered probit model, we find that the influence of race, income, reference income, labor market status, marriage, and number of children on SWB varies greatly and...

Edward T. Creagan, Brent A. Bauer, Barbara S. Thomley, Jessica M. Borg, more

Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice > 2015 > 21 > 2 > 101-104

The animal–human bond refers to an emotional, almost existential, relationship between animals and people. From the time of antiquity, domestic animals were an important source of economic vitality, but with the changing cultural landscape, the companion animal has become a faithful friend. Overwhelming anecdotal evidence supports the healing power of this relationship. We summarize the emerging literature...

Jonathan G. Hakun, Zude Zhu, Christopher A. Brown, Nathan F. Johnson, more

Neuropsychologia > 2015 > 71 > Complete > 225-235

Cross-sectional research has shown that older adults tend to have different frontal cortex activation patterns, poorer brain structure, and lower task performance than younger adults. However, relationships between longitudinal changes in brain function, brain structure, and cognitive performance in older adults are less well understood. Here we present the results of a longitudinal, combined fMRI-DTI...

The interplay between immune maturation, age, chronic viral infection and environment

Kristie L Oxford, Myra Grace A dela Pena-Ponce, Kara Jensen, Meghan K Eberhardt, more

Immunity & Ageing > 2015 > 12 > 1 > 1-20

Background The worldwide increase in life expectancy has been associated with an increase in age-related morbidities. The underlying mechanisms resulting in immunosenescence are only incompletely understood. Chronic viral infections, in particular infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), have been suggested as a main driver in immunosenescence. Here, we propose that rhesus macaques could serve...

Improvement of the electrocatalytic activities of long-aged Pt electrodes and the change of the improved activities with aging

Gorachand Dutta, Al-Monsur Jiaul Haque, Haesik Yang, G. Dutta, more

Electrochimica Acta > 2014 > 141 > Complete > 319-323

Pretreatment methods of long-aged Pt electrodes are commonly used to obtain increased and reproducible electrocatalytic activities prior to electroanalytical measurement. However, many pretreatment methods can cause severe surface damage. Moreover, the degree and time dependence of the increased activities have rarely been investigated systematically. This paper reports a new pretreatment method (NaBH...

S. Duke Han, Patricia A. Boyle, Lei Yu, Debra A. Fleischman, more

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics > 2014 > 59 > 2 > 429-438

Financial literacy refers to the ability to access and utilize financial information in ways that promote better outcomes. In old age, financial literacy has been associated with a wide range of positive characteristics; however, the neural correlates remain unclear. Recent work has suggested greater co-activity between anterior–posterior medial brain regions is associated with better brain functioning...
