Effects of age on across-participant variability of cortical reinstatement effects

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging data, we assessed whether across-participant variability of content-selective retrieval-related neural activity differs with age. We addressed this question by employing across-participant multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA), predicting that increasing age would be associated with reduced variability of retrieval-related cortical reinstatement across participants. During study, 24 young and 24 older...
