By 2031, the average life expectancy in Canada will reach 84. In order to promote good cognitive health and independence throughout those years, we critically require a better understanding of how the mind and brain change with age. The proposed research advances these goals by examining the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying age-related memory declines, and suggesting new methods for remediation. By showing that age differences in memory may be exaggerated by the artificial manner in which we test it, this work will not only challenge common conceptions of aging, but the way we study cognition in general.

到2031年，加拿大的平均预期寿命将达到84岁。为了在这些年里促进良好的认知健康和独立性，我们迫切需要更好地了解心灵和大脑如何随着年龄的变化而变化。这项研究通过研究与年龄相关的记忆力下降的认知和神经机制，并提出新的补救方法来推进这些目标。通过证明记忆中的年龄差异可能会被我们测试记忆的人为方式夸大，这项工作不仅会挑战衰老的常见概念，而且会挑战我们研究认知的一般方式。
