Experienced and remembered emotional intensity in adults

Article Abstract:

Supporters of Ross Perot were asked about their reaction to his withdrawal from the presidential elections of 1992. The emotional reaction of older people aged between 71-years-old and 84-years-old was as intense as that of middle-aged and younger people. Older people experienced a more rapid reduction in emotional intensity than did younger people, which represents a more rapid disengagement. This difference could be linked to memory of differences in coping strategies.

Aging and counting speed: evidence for process-specific slowing

Article Abstract:

A sample of 131 adults between the ages of 20 and 86 was evaluated to find out whether cognitive processes such as counting and enumerating were affected by age. Results show that age does not matter in the speed of individuals to do simple arithmetical operations such as addition. However, the speed of subitizing among older individuals was observed to be slower than among younger ones.
