Age differences in the neural representation of working memory revealed by multi-voxel pattern analysis.
Working memory function declines across the lifespan. Computational models of aging attribute such memory impairments to reduced distinctiveness between neural representations of different mental states in old age, a phenomenon termed dedifferentiation. These models predict that neural distinctivene...
