Characterizing and modulating neurocognitive processes of learning to trust and distrust in aging
Project Summary. Much of human interaction is based on trust. Aging has been associated with deficits in trust- related decision making, likely further exacerbated in age-associated neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer's disease/AD), possibly underlying the dramatically growing public health problem of elder fraud. Optimal trust- related decision making and avoiding exploitation require the ability to learn about the trustworthiness of social partners across multiple interactions, but the role that learning plays in determining age deficits in trust decisions is currently unknown. To address this gap, this project will (i) characterize basic cognitive processes and neural mechanisms in…
