A cognitive training intervention increases resting cerebral blood flow in healthy older adults.

abstract：:Prior research suggests that acoustical degradation impacts encoding of items into memory, especially in elderly subjects. We here aimed to investigate whether acoustically degraded items that are initially encoded into memory are more prone to forgetting as a function of age. Young and old participants were tested wi...
