Age and the understanding of emotions: neuropsychological and sociological perspectives. (2002)
Journal Article
Phillips, L. H., MacLean, R. D. J., & Allen, R. (2002). Age and the understanding of emotions: neuropsychological and sociological perspectives. Journals of Gerontology, Series B, 57B, 526-530. https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/57.6.P526

Sociocognitive approaches suggest that the ability to understand emotions should be well maintained in adult aging. However, neuropsychological evidence suggests potential impairments in processing emotions in older adults. In the current study, 30 y...

The annual winter assembly of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in tropical waters has been linked to reproductive activities, including birthing, calf-rearing, and mating. However, the sexual behaviour of this species remains largely undescri... Read More about Penis extrusions by humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) on the Hawaiian winter grounds..

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), as a measure of ovarian function and menopausal symptoms prior to and following hysterectomy in women under the age of 45 years.

DESIGN:

This was a prospective control... Read More about Hysterectomy and ovarian function: levels of follicle stimulating hormone and incidence of menopausal symptoms are not affected by hysterectomy in women under age 45 years..

In the absence of well-resolved food webs that include both information on predators and parasites, body-size has been proposed as the biological mechanism underlying the assumption of a trophic hierarchy in the cascade model and its variants. We sho... Read More about Size constraints in a real food web: predator, parasite and prey body-size relationships.
