Healthy aging in rats is associated with a decline in the ability to inhibit maladaptive responses, but not in measures of self-control by delayed gratification
Across these experiments we show that the impact of aging on cognitive health is not unitary, in that aging negatively impacts the adaptation of motor actions independent of self-control.
