Increased Early Processing of Task-Irrelevant Auditory Stimuli in Older Adults.
The inhibitory deficit hypothesis of cognitive aging posits that older adults' inability to adequately suppress processing of irrelevant information is a major source of cognitive decline. Prior research has demonstrated that in response to task-irrelevant auditory stimuli there is an age-assoc...
