STAC: The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition proposed in 2009 is a conceptual model ofneuroimaging to explain how the combined effects of adverse and compensatory neutral processeproduce varying levels of cognitive function. [PQUESTION 22Which one is not the best way to describe necessary "threshold" as "sensitivity" declines with age?Individuals with lower sensitivity also have a lower threshold or tolerance for stimulation.OAs sensitivity goes down, the threshold must be higher to compensate.Individuals with a low-sensitivity, need more stimulation than people with high-sensitivity.none of the aboveQUESTION 23

The relationship between sensitivity and threshold is pivotal, especially as individuals age.…
