Deciphering Key Features of Social Resilience Versus Social Vulnerability in Later Life
Objectives Confronted with shrinking social networks, older adults exhibit individual differences in social adaptability, reflected as socially resilient versus socially vulnerable. The purpose of this study was to examine key features that reflect this social asymmetry in later life. Methods Three data sets were analyzed, with the training set (N = 424) included older adults from China, whereas 2 test sets (N1 = 2877, N2 = 2343) were from the Un…
Everyday Language and Cognitive Functioning in Late Life
Objectives Language deterioration is a marker of cognitive decline in late life. An emerging literature has examined features of language associated with executive functioning and working memory when older adults are cognitively healthy. This study aims to identify linguistic features that predict cognitive functioning in a sample of cognitively healthy individuals. Method Participants from the Daily Experiences and Well-being Study (DEWS; aged 6…
Insights into the Heterogeneity of Cognitive Aging
Objectives Cognitive aging entails diverse patterns of cognitive profiles, brain imaging, and biomarkers. Yet, few studies have explored the performance of multiple clustering algorithms on a single data set. Here, we employ data-driven methods to analyze neuropsychological performance in older individuals with normal cognition (NC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods A total of 311 older adults without dementia completed a comprehensive…
Face recognition's practical relevance
Research on individual differences in face recognition has provided important foundational insights: their broad range, cognitive specificity, strong heritability, and resilience to change. Elusive, however, has been the key issue of practical relevance: do these individual differences correlate with aspects of life that go beyond the recognition of faces, per se? Though often assumed, especially in social realms, such correlates remain largely t…
Post-traumatic stress and future substance use outcomes
PTSD symptoms were highly associated with tobacco and alcohol use, while the association with prospective cannabis use is not clear. Findings suggest that understanding the different risk stratification that occurs can aid in tailoring interventions to populations at greatest risk to best mitigate the comorbidity between PTSD symptoms and future substance use outcomes. We demonstrate that this is particularly salient for tobacco use and, to some …
Longitudinal associations between five factor model and impulsive personality traits and PTSD symptoms
Large-scale citizen science reveals predictors of sensorimotor adaptation
Associations Between Childhood Trauma Characteristics and Theory of Mind in Adults
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms are Higher Among Same- and Both-Sex Attracted Individuals in a Large, International Sample
When Does Cognitive Functioning Peak? The Asynchronous Rise and Fall of Different Cognitive Abilities Across the Life Span
Understanding how and when cognitive change occurs over the life span is a prerequisite for understanding normal and abnormal development and aging. Most studies of cognitive change are constrained, however, in their ability to detect subtle, but theoretically informative life-span changes, as they rely on either comparing broad age groups or sparse sampling across the age range. Here, we present convergent evidence from 48,537 online participant…
