Changes in self-initiated processing in older adults can be attributed to changes in __________.
A) the frontal lobes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frontal lobes are responsible for executive functioning, including self-initiated processing. As aging occurs, there are changes in the frontal lobes that can lead to a decline in this ability. Decreased numbers of mitochondria and slower metabolisms may be factors in aging, but they are not directly related to changes in self-initiated processing. The older adults' shuffling gait is also not directly related to changes in self-initiated processing.
