Elderly Positivity Bias May Signal Early Cognitive Decline
▪️New research suggests that the tendency of older adults to misinterpret neutral or negative emotions as positive may be a warning sign of cognitive decline. In a study of 665 participants, positivity bias was associated with poorer cognitive performance but not with emotional decline such as depression.
Brain imaging revealed structural and communication changes in regions tied to emotion and social decision-making. These findings suggest positivity bias could serve as a subtle, early marker for neurodegeneration and dementia.
