The present review synthesizes findings on decision neuroscience and aging by focusing on decision processes that have been extensively studied in neuroeconomics and critically assessing the driving mechanisms of age-related change. The paper first highlights age-related changes to key brain structures that have been implicated in decision-making, then, reviews specific decision components and discusses investigations of age-related changes to their neural mechanisms. The review also weighs evidence for organic brain aging versus age-related changes to social and psychological factors in mediating age effects. Reviewed findings are discussed in the context of theories and frameworks that have been used to explain trajectories of change in decision-making across adulthood. This article is categorized under: Psychology > Development and Aging Psychology > Reasoning and Decision-Making Neuroscience > Cognition.

衰老决策的神经机制。

本综述通过关注神经经济学中已广泛研究的决策过程并严格评估与年龄相关的变化的驱动机制，综合了决策神经科学和衰老的发现。本文首先重点介绍了与决策有关的关键大脑结构的年龄相关变化，然后回顾了特定的决策组件，并讨论了与年龄相关的神经机制变化的研究。该评论还权衡了有机大脑老化与介导年龄影响的社会和心理因素与年龄相关的变化的证据。在理论和框架的背景下讨论了已审查的发现，这些理论和框架已被用来解释整个成年人的决策变化轨迹。本文归类于：心理学>
