Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice
16
Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice –Some hippocampal functions decline with age
17
Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice –Some hippocampal functions decline with age –Age-related alterations in hippocampal neurochemical signaling
18
Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice –Some hippocampal functions decline with age –Age-related alterations in hippocampal neurochemical signaling –Nicotinic cholinergic receptors? Decline with age Decline associated with impaired hippocampal- dependent learning/memory

Age differences in inter- temporal choice What does this mean? What does this mean? –an improvement in cognitive function in aging? OR…
21
Age differences in inter- temporal choice What does this mean? What does this mean? –an improvement in cognitive function in aging? OR… –perhaps exaggerated preference for delayed gratification is not a good thing
22
Age differences in inter- temporal choice What does this mean? What does this mean? –an improvement in cognitive function in aging? OR… –perhaps exaggerated preference for delayed gratification is not a good thing Future directions Future directions –Neural/behavioral mechanisms –Longitudinal studies (behavior and neuroimaging)
