Might chronic drug abuse exacerbate the effects of normative aging on executive control and decision-making?
Workshop goals: 1) To clarify the state of current knowledge on neuroanatomical substrates and behavioral dynamics of decision-making and motivation and development, with an emphasis on what is known about developmental differences in these processes with aging from young to old adulthood, 2) To identify, with participation of attendees, specific gaps in this knowledge that could be addressed in behavioral as well as neuroimaging studies of decision-making and motivation in normative aging, or in drug abuse.
