Decision making and brand choice by older consumers (2008, result): “Because research results (and advice) have been based primarily on younger adults, research focusing on older adults could have far-reaching and timely implications given our growing older adult population.”
Emotional aging: recent findings and future trends. (2010, background): “Theoretically, the implementation of emotion–regulatory goals requires cognitive control abilities such as focusing attention, maintaining attention in the face of distraction, or suppressing unwanted thoughts (Mather & Knight, 2005; Ochsner & Gross, 2005; Schmeichel, 2007).”
Social and Emotional Aging (2010, methodology): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. ANRV398-PS61-15 ARI 28 October 2009 11:51 and neutral images remembered more positive than negative images (Mather & Knight 2005).”
Meta-analysis of the age-related positivity effect: age differences in preferences for positive over negative information.

Evolutionary derived modulations of attention to two common fear stimuli: Serpents and hostile humans (2012, result): “5; Lundqvist & Ohman, 2005 ; Mather & Knight, 2005 ; Ohman, Lundqvist, & Esteves, 2001 ; See Ohman, Juth, & Lundqvist, 2010, for further references) but the results from studies that like Hansen and Hansen ( 1988 ) used photographically depicted real faces (eg, Figure 2 ) are highly inconsiste”
Happy, sad, scary and peaceful musical excerpts for research on emotions (2008, unknown): “…Crommelinck, & Campanella, 2005), emotion and decision making (Beer, Knight, & D’Esposito, 2006), normal and pathological ageing (Biseul et al., 2005; Mather & Knight, 2005), neuropsychology (Allerdings & Alfano, 2006; Garcia-Caballero, Gonzalez-Hermida, Garcia-Lado, & Recimil, 2006),…”
Aging and the Intersection of Cognition, Motivation, and Emotion (2006, background): “The positivity effect is typically manifested in age by valence interactions with medium effect sizes (e.g., Charles et al., 2003; Mather & Knight, 2005).”
Selection, Optimization, and Compensation in the Domain of Emotion Regulation: Applications to Adolescence, Older Age, and Major Depressive Disorder (2012, background): “Older adults also experience decreases in negative affect (Charles, Reynolds , & Gatz, 2001), and recall fewer negative than positive stimuli compared to younger adults (Charles, Mather, & Carstensen, 2003; Mather & Knight, 2005).”
NEURAL CORRELATES OF EMOTIONAL MEMORIES: A REVIEW OF EVIDENCE FROM BRAIN IMAGING STUDIES (2012, background): “On the other hand, given the evidence supporting an enhanced cognitive control of emotion with aging (Gross et al., 1997; Mather & Knight, 2005), an alternative account for increased PFC involvement is that it reflects enhanced engagement of emotion regulation strategies in older adults.”
Memory as a self-protective mechanism (2009, methodology): “In one study (Mather & Knight, 2005), older adults given a concurrent task (listening to changing sounds) recalled more negative than positive pictures, whereas those not given a concurrent task recalled more positive than negative pictures.”
Strength and Vulnerability Integration (SAVI): A Model of Emotional Well-Being Across Adulthood (2010, unknown): “In support of this model, older adults who scored the highest on tests assessing attentional processes displayed a positivity bias that was attenuated among their lower scoring peers (Mather & Knight, 2005).”
The Theory Behind the Age-Related Positivity Effect (2012, background): “In other studies differences reflect relatively deeper processing of positive material by older people (e.g., Isaacowitz et al., 2006b; study 3 in Mather and Knight, 2005).”
