The neural mechanism underlying the effects of preceding contexts on current categorization decisions.

abstract：:Ignoring irrelevant information becomes more difficult with increasing age. The present cross-sectional study addressed this issue by investigating age-related differences in the ability to withhold a response to non-target stimuli. Fourteen young (20-34 years) and 14 elderly (60-80 years) participants performed two g...
