This review contemplates the recent consideration of social and affective factors within the study of cognitive aging and examines the multiple ways in which these factors intersect.
The article briefly reviews the models applied to cognitive aging and considers how they can inform the understanding of socioaffective aging. It then discusses the ways in which socioaffective and cognitive abilities intersect.
Models of cognitive aging can fruitfully be applied to socioaffective aging, although with some points of divergence. The interactions between cognitive and socioaffective aging are multifaceted and include bidirectional influences.
Socioaffective domains may preserve function within cognitive domains in part because socioaffective processing provides a rich source of environmental support and links to motivated cognition. The authors outline future directions related to these hypotheses.
本综述思考了认知老化研究中对社会和情感因素的最新考量,并审视了这些因素相互交叉的多种方式。
本文简要回顾了应用于认知老化的模型,并思考它们如何有助于理解社会情感老化。然后讨论了社会情感与认知能力相互交叉的方式。
认知老化模型可有效地应用于社会情感老化,尽管存在一些分歧点。认知老化与社会情感老化之间的相互作用是多方面的,包括双向影响。
社会情感领域可能在认知领域内保持功能,部分原因是社会情感加工提供了丰富的环境支持来源,并与动机性认知相联系。作者概述了与这些假设相关的未来方向。
