【 摘 要 】
Decision-making is a dynamic skill rather than a static capacity (Dhami et al., 2011), and so may alter on a developmental scale. A reduction in cognitive functioning has been linked to suboptimal decisions in older adults (Finucane et al., 2000). For example, declines in memory (Ratcliff et al., 1992), perceptual processing (Ratcliff et al., 2006), and inhibition (Williams et al., 1999) have been related to impairment in decision-making competence. Despite this, older individuals are regularly required to make important life decisions, such as choosing a medical treatment or retirement plan.
