STAC: The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition proposed in 2009 is a conceptual model of
neuroimaging to explain how the combined effects of adverse and compensatory neutral processe
produce varying levels of cognitive function. [

QUESTION 22
Which 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.
O
As 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 above

You have a left and right motor cortex, a left and right hippocampus, a left and right cerebellum, and so on.

Can you think of any reason why your brain is symmetrical in this way?arrow_forward
