| Abstrakt: | The question of whether cognitive control is specific to certain domains or domain-general remains an extensively debated question at both cognitive and neural levels. This study examined the neural substrates associated with resistance to interference (RI) in phonological, semantic, and visual domains by using strictly matched tasks and determining the domain-general or domain-specific manner in which aging affects the neural substrates associated with RI. In an fMRI experiment, young and older participants performed a similarity judgment task with phonological, semantic, or visual interference buildup. For both age groups, domain-specific RI effects were observed at the univariate level, with increased involvement in the phonological domain of the right angular gyrus and the right lingual gyrus, in the semantic domain of the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus, the bilateral superior parietal and angular gyri and the left middle temporal gyrus, and in the visual domain of the middle/superior frontal gyri and occipital gyri. At the multivariate level, although RI effects could be decoded from neural patterns in the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus for all domains and age groups, between-domain prediction of RI conditions was associated with Bayesian evidence for the null hypothesis. This study supports the domain specificity of neural substrates associated with RI while stressing its age independency. (© 2024 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.) |
