SUMMARY:Heterogeneity in Cognitive Aging - Professor Ulman Lindenberger\,

DESCRIPTION:Individual differences in cognitive functioning increase with 
 advancing adult age. The resulting heterogeneity poses conceptual and meth
 odological challenges\, but also permits insights into mechanisms that pro
 mote successful aging. I will elaborate on this proposition in three ways.
  First\, I will report evidence suggesting that the effects of common gene
 tic polymorphisms on cognition increase with advancing adult age. Second\,
  based on functional brain imaging studies and related evidence\, I will s
 uggest that maintenance may represent a more viable route to successful co
 gnitive aging than compensation. Third\, I will report findings on the exp
 erimental modifiability of cognitive abilities in early and late adulthood
