Abstract:
Aging-associated differences in motivational inducers of behavior the internal control of which promotes «successful» aging are studied. The study involved university students and elderly women (20±1,1 and 65,1±5,8 years, respectively). The dominance of cognitive activity in the profile of motivational inducers is established regardless of the age and time period of self-assessment. Age differences are found for the situation of the «future»: the increase in the importance of physical activity for the elderly and the significantly greater importance of the components «emotional state», both in the present and in the future for young female students. Recognition of the priority of cognitive activity did not correspond, however, to the practical implementation of the cognitive training program, presumably due to the age-related weakening of executive control in initiation of new actions.
