Age differences and similarities in patterns of cerebral hemispheric asymmetry
Article Abstract:
Aspects of cerebral asymmetry, such as hemispheric dominance for phonetic-linguistic processing, hemispheric differences in trigram processing strategy, characteristic perceptual biases thought to reflect hemispheric arousal asymmetries and hemispheric dominance for processing emotions expressed on the face, were analyzed. No significant difference in the patterns of cerebral hemispheric asymmetry was observed between younger and older adults. This indicates that age-related changes in cognitive functioning are unlikely to be affected by changes in hemispheric asymmetry.

Perceptions of baby talk, frequency of receiving baby talk, and self-esteem among community and nursing home residents
Article Abstract:
The need for succorance in community and nursing home residents is related to their perceptions of warmth in baby talk. Functional health, age, and institutionalization are related to the perceptions of superiority in baby talk. There is a significant relation between the perceptions of baby talk and the frequency of receiving baby talk for predicting self-esteem. Individuals with positive perceptions of baby talk show greater self-esteem. The self-esteem interaction for men takes place on the superiority dimension and for women on the warmth dimension.

Aging and negative priming in a location suppression task: the long and the short of it
Article Abstract:
A study of temporal variables and inhibitory functioning in the aged illustrated the inverse correlations between negative and repetitive priming by elucidating geriatrics' extensive emphasis on facilitatory processes prior to task selection. The nature of facilitation or inhibition pertaining to task selection hinges on individual capacities and particular task conditions.
