Overview

Comprehensive investigation reveals proactive control declines with age, while reactive control remains stable across adults.

Key Points

  • Proactive control mechanisms decline with age, evident in older adults compared to younger ones.
  • Younger adults show strong proactive control during the Stroop task, while older adults exhibit little to none.
  • Reactive control processes remain stable across the adult lifespan, unaffected by age-related factors.
  • Findings validate the DMC framework, linking proactive control with shifting neurocognitive processes over time.
