2063.151 Relation of working memory updating to processing speed in cognitive aging, Tianyong
Chen, Deming Li, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
The study was conducted to investigate the roles of working memory updating in cognitive aging
and its relation to processing speed. 142 adults between 18 and 85 years of age performed a set of
updating, processing speed, and fluid cognitive tasks. The results indicated that reductions in
updating were associated with increased age, and greater efficiency in performing updating tasks
was associated with better performance on memory, reasoning, and spatial tasks. Furthermore, this
pattern was unchanged when processing speed was considered. These results suggest that
age-related deficits in cognitive system are specific to particular basic control processes in
working memory.
