Zusammenfassung
Auch gesundes Altern geht nicht ohne kognitive Defizite einher. Bei Betrachtung des aktuellen Erkenntnisstands zu kognitiven Veränderungen im gesunden Alterungsprozess stellt sich eine dysfunktionale kognitive Kontrolle als ein Kerndefizit heraus. Moderne Präventionsansätze verfolgen das Ziel, den im gesunden Alterungsprozess vermuteten Veränderungen der kognitiven Kontrolle entgegenzuwirken.
Abstract
Normal aging does not take course without cognitive decline. Current findings on age related cognitive changes assume dysfunctional cognitive control to be a major deficit in normal aging. Recent approaches focus on preventing cognitive control from deficits assumed to take place during normal aging.
