  • Assessed skills in bridging inference
  • Evaluated emotional inference and perspective-taking
  • Analyzed cognitive resource usage
  • Younger and older adults show similar reliance on cognitive resources for emotional inference
  • Bridging inference demonstrates varied impacts based on age
  • Emotional perspective-taking is influenced by cognitive resource availability

Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which bridging inference, emotional inference and emotional perspective-taking might draw on the same cognitive resources, in younger and older adults.
