西北大学超级老化项目研究了一组罕见的 80 岁以上的个体，他们的情景记忆能力至少与中年成年人一样好，以确定哪些因素影响了他们的精英记忆表现。由于心理健康与老年人的认知表现呈正相关，本研究探讨了心理健康的各个方面是否能够将认知超级老年人与认知平均年龄的同龄同龄人区分开来。 31 名超级老年人和 19 名认知能力处于同龄平均水平的同龄人完成了 Ryff 42 项心理健康调查问卷，包括 6 个分量表：自主性、与他人的积极关系、环境掌控、个人成长、人生目标和自我接纳。这些群体在人口因素（包括估计的病前智力）上没有差异。与纳入标准一致，超级老年人的情景记忆得分更高。与认知能力处于平均年龄的同龄人相比，超级老年人支持与他人建立更高水平的积极关系。各组在其他 PWB-42 分量表上没有差异。虽然超级老年人和他们的同龄认知平均水平的同龄人在多个维度上都报告了类似的高水平心理健康，但超级老年人支持更高水平的积极社会关系。可以想象，这种心理特征可能与先前在超级老年人中报道的更大的前扣带回厚度和更高密度的 von Economo 神经元有生物学关系。
The Northwestern University SuperAging Program studies a rare cohort of individuals over age 80 with episodic memory ability at least as good as middle-age adults to determine what factors contribute to their elite memory performance. As psychological well-being is positively correlated with cognitive performance in older adults, the present study examined whether aspects of psychological well-being distinguish cognitive SuperAgers from their cognitively average-for-age, same-age peers. Thirty-one SuperAgers and 19 cognitively average-for-age peers completed the Ryff 42-item Psychological Well-Being questionnaire, comprised of 6 subscales: Autonomy, Positive Relations with Others, Environmental Mastery, Personal Growth, Purpose in Life, and Self-Acceptance. The groups did not differ on demographic factors, including estimated premorbid intelligence. Consistent with inclusion criteria, SuperAgers had better episodic memory scores. Compared to cognitively average-for-age peers, SuperAgers endorsed greater levels of Positive Relations with Others. The groups did not differ on other PWB-42 subscales. While SuperAgers and their cognitively average-for-age peers reported similarly high levels of psychological well-being across multiple dimensions, SuperAgers endorsed greater levels of positive social relationships. This psychological feature could conceivably have a biological relationship to the greater thickness of the anterior cingulate gyrus and higher density of von Economo neurons previously reported in SuperAgers.
