- 研究成果概要
- Together with a team at Caltech and HMRI, we identified that implicit interference could be associated with early cognitive decline in older individuals with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's. Specifically, we found that attentional regulation of the subliminal sensory information was key. That is, older individuals at higher risk suffered stronger interference after practice, when more attention should be available. On the contrary, older individuals at lower risk exhibited the opposite pattern. The results extended our original theoretical hypothesis to real-world implications.This study was published recently on GeroScience:Hung, S. -M., Adams, S. W., Molloy, C., Wu, D. A., Shimojo, S., & Arakaki, X. (2024) Practice makes imperfect: stronger implicit interference with practice in individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
