This paper looks at ageing in relation to executive functioning, and focuses on identifying changes in cognitive performance. The paper examines neurobiology in detail to introduce the topic whilst discussing memory, learning, motor performance, age and cognitive procession, and the theory of task-switching as the executive functions and behaviours that age may affect. The paper concludes by summarising the discussion, and by making a series of assumptions on the information provided.
