“…For example, studies have revealed age-related deficits in restraining a response (Kok, 1999; May and Hasher, 1998) and ignoring/suppressing visually distracting information (Alain and Woods, 1999; Chao and Knight, 1997; Clapp and Gazzaley, 2010; Gazzaley et al, 2008; Gazzaley et al, 2005; West and Alain, 2000; Zanto et al, 2010a; Zanto et al, 2010b). More specifically, older adults show diminished response inhibition when required to modify an executed plan of action (Andres et al, 2008; Bedard et al, 2002; Kramer et al, 1994; Potter and Grealy, 2008), as well as visual suppression deficits in the presence of distracting information (Clapp and Gazzaley, 2010; Gazzaley et al, 2008; Hasher et al, 1999). …”
