情绪性信息和内在动机对老年人决策过程的影响

The Role of Emotional Information and Internal Motivation in Older Adults' Decision-making Process

本文主要从四个方面综述了情绪性信息和内在动机对老年人决策过程的影响:任务自我相关性与决策认知资源投入,老年人对决策相关情绪性信息的注意偏向、积极偏好以及对决策任务描述方式的敏感度.未来既需要直接的事件相关电位(ERPs)技术研究证据,如用ERPs技术监测老年人在决策过程中所依据的信息类型以及诱发的情绪和动机反应,从而精确地判断情绪性信息和内在动机对其搜索信息的影响,也需要从神经生物学的视角对老年人的决策过程进行深入的脑机制探讨.

The role of emotional information and internal motivation in older adults＇ decision-making process was explored in this review.The role was embodied in the following four aspects： self-related of tasks influence the invest of cognitive resources; older adults pay more attention to emotional information related to decisions,give preference to positive information and are sensitive to the way of decision-making tasks described.Future research should consider more direct ERPs evidence.For example,use ERPs technique to monitor older adults＇ decision-making in order to discriminate the information types that older adults used and their emotional and motivational responses.This method could contribute to precisely discern the effect of emotional information and internal motivation on information search.Furthermore,future research should also study the neutral mechanism of older adults＇ decision-making process from the perspective of neurobiology.
