Many studies suggest that the role of attention changes with increasing age. These changes have to do with the ability to focus on relevant information and disregard irrelevant information. This phenomenon is known as sensory gating of information. Although normal cognitive aging reflects some decline in attentive ability, there appears to be a unique, and more universal, component to this decline in Alzheimer’s patients. Normal cognitive aging appears to be restricted to certain domains, whereas Alzheimer’s disease patients have a more universal impairment in their ability to control attention. This review informs the reader of previous theories and research on attention and aging, and discusses findings of the constituents of normal and abnormal cognitive aging with relation to attention.…

Some materials I used for my project are magazine clippings and poster board. What I did to test this was…
