Journal Title: Neurodynamics. Журнал клинической психологии и психиатрии - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The results of a neuropsychological study of cognitive correlates of successful aging are presented. With the help of the battery of neuropsychological tests, such functions as attention, visual, auditory and somatosensory gnosis, various types of praxis, memory processes, reflexion, abstraction ability and anticipation were studied. 226 elderly people (mean age 70.56±9.9) were examined without severe cognitive disorders. Based on mathematical modeling, the study showed that the most significant predictors among the studied neuropsychological factors of successful aging are semantic memory and the anticipatory speed. This study is part of the analysis of neurocognitive correlates of subjective well-being at a later age.
