The Aging Self: How Older Men and Women Reflect on Themselves and Others
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Self-relevant stimuli, such as one’s name or face, are prioritised by the brain, leading to faster responses and enhanced attentional processes. The psychophysiological underpinnings of those mechanisms are related to early and late event-related potential (ERP) components, particularly to reduced N2 and enhanced late positive potential (LPP). However, most up-to-date research on the self has focused on groups of young adults while older groups were rarely recruited for such experiments — the present study aimed to fill this gap. Thus, age-related changes in the self-referential processing were investigated and plausible gender differences were explored. Founded by National Science Centre: 2022/45/B/HS6/01048
