“…Previous studies have proposed that inhibitory dysfunction is a major cause of cognitive decline in older age [ 2 , 3 , 4 ], whereby older adults may experience mental interference from irrelevant contextual details and are unable to suppress prepotent actions that are no longer required [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Effective social interaction requires functional prospective memory, naming, and speech production, which may deteriorate in older adults due to defects in inhibitory function [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. This cognitive decline affects older adults’ well-being and quality of life [ 12 ].…”

Response inhibition is frequently examined using visual go/no-go tasks. Recently, the auditory go/no-go paradigm has been also applied to several clinical and aging populations. However, age-related changes in the neural underpinnings of auditory go/no-go tasks are yet to be elucidated. We used magnetoencephalography combined with distributed source imaging methods to examine age-associated changes in neural responses to auditory no-go stimuli. Additionally, we compared the performance of high- and low-performing older adults to explore differences in cortical activation. Behavioral performance in terms of response inhibition was similar in younger and older adult groups. Relative to the younger adults, the older adults exhibited reduced cortical activation in the superior and middle temporal gyrus. However, we did not find any significant differences in cortical activation between the high- and low-performing older adults. Our results therefore support the hypothesis that inhibition is reduced during aging. The variation in cognitive performance among older adults confirms the need for further study on the underlying mechanisms of inhibition.

“…Indeed, this alternative explanation also cannot account for the growing body of evidence suggesting that exposure to a variety of different types of information, both relevant and irrelevant, plays a greater role in subsequent task performance for older than for younger adults due to age-related decrements in inhibitory processing (cf. Biss, Rowe, Weeks, Hasher, & Murphy, 2018; Hartman & Hasher, 1991; Hasher, Quig, & May, 1997; Hasher et al, 1999; Healey et al, 2008; Neumann et al, 2018; Radel et al, 2015). Consistent with this, our findings indicate that older adults’ creativity is enhanced with relevant distraction, compared to younger adults.…”

Diminished inhibitory control in cognitive functioning renders people vulnerable to the effects of distracting information. Older adults' decreased ability to ignore information makes them especially susceptible to the disruptive effects of distraction. We show that in the domain of creativity, distraction can have beneficial consequences. In the first study, both younger and older adults generated more creative recipes when presented with distracting information that was congruent with target information, compared to no distracting information, in a subsequent creativity task. This increase in creativity with congruent distraction was preserved, and even slightly enhanced, among older relative to younger adults. In the second study, we sought to replicate and extend our findings to a new task. We found that following exposure to distracting information, older adults generated more creative solutions than younger adults on a subsequent unusual uses for a brick task. Present findings suggest ways that distraction can boost creativity among older adults.

“…Studies of spoken word production provide empirical evidence for the IDH. In a rapid naming task, older speakers produced more errors than young speakers, indicating that older adults cannot suppress irrelevant words in a time-limited situation (Neumann et al, 2018 ). There is a significant correlation between the Stroop effect and the semantic interference effect in older adults (Crowther and Martin, 2014 ), implying the role of inhibitory ability in spoken word production.…”

This study investigated the influence of induced mood on the phonological encoding involved in Chinese spoken word production with a picture-word inference task while concurrently recorded electrophysiological signals. In the experiment, young and older participants watched videos for inducing positive, negative, or neutral mood, and then they were instructed to name target picture while ignoring phonologically related or unrelated distractor words. A phonological facilitation effect was observed in young adults but not in older adults, suggesting an age-related decline of phonological encoding. Both groups showed an inhibition effect in negative mood but not in positive mood, suggesting that speakers have different processing styles in different moods. ERP data revealed a phonological effect around the time window of 250–350 ms in both groups. Meanwhile, young adults showed a phonological effect around 350–450 ms in negative mood and positive mood which may reflect self-monitoring in speech production. We suggest that the former effect may reflect phonological encoding while the latter reflects self-monitoring of internal syllables or phonemes. Furthermore, induced moods influence the phonological effect in older and young adults differently. Behavioral and ERP results provide consistent evidence for the aging decline of phonological encoding in spoken word production.
