Question

Information processing in older adults shows a bias toward what type of information?

Answer 1

Information processing in older adults shows a bias toward positive versus negative information.

Explain positive versus negative information.

• By combining the interpretation of a statement's truth value with its state of events, or "situation," one might infer information about the circumstance.
• It is positive when it permits a legitimate conclusion about the situation's nature, and it is negative when it permits a legitimate inference merely about what the situation is not.
• A cognitive prejudice known as the negativity bias causes negative occurrences to have a greater psychological impact than happy ones.
• Even when negative and good occurrences are of equal size, negativity bias still exists, making us more sensitive to negative events.
• There is a bias toward positive information vs negative information in how older persons perceive information.
