PASA Model  

Definition

  • Model of cognitive aging. Aging increases activation in the prefrontal cortex while decreasing activation in the occipital cortex during cognitive tasks, particularly in memory tasks (working memory, encoding and retrieval in episodic memory). The high recruitment of the prefrontal cortex in the elderly is thought to be an indicator of their attempts to compensate for their cognitive difficulties.
