Ageing and Executive Control

Ulrich Mayr, Daniel H. Spieler, Reinhold Kliegl - Aging - 2001 - 314 pages
...neurocognitive ageing is to understand age-related changes in brain-behaviour relationships. Neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used for observation of these age-related changes only if the assumption of age-equivalent relations...
