Understanding how ageing variably influences brain function and structure may better inform targeted interventions designed to improve decision performance in individuals of all ages. This seems to be related to decreased NAc activity associated with reward prediction errors (but not necessarily reward predictions), which may result from reduced medial prefrontal cortex input into striatal circuits. Older adults make more suboptimal choices when engaging in probabilistic reward learning. Older adults make more optimal choices during delay discounting by assigning higher values to future gains, which appears to be related to increased NAc activity during consideration of future rewards. Older adults make more suboptimal choices during financial risk taking, which seems to be related not to shifts in risk preference but rather to increased variability in nucleus accumbens (NAc) activity. However, older adults show reduced affective and neural sensitivity to anticipated financial losses.
Older and younger adults show similar affective and neural sensitivity to anticipated financial gains during value assessment as well as to gain and loss outcomes. Research has begun to explore how age-related changes in the brain systems that are implicated in affect and motivation influence decision making.
