It is commonly believed that memory capacities decline with advanced age. Among various biological mechanisms investigated, the stress hormone (cortisol) has received much attention. When cortisol levels are elevated, they impair cognitive performance. Yet evidence shows that there is considerable variability in older adults' cortisol levels and cognitive performance, and the basis for this variability is not well understood. The work of the current thesis sought to investigate some factors that may explain some of the variability observed in stress reactivity and memory performance among older adults. Specifically, we investigated the roles of internalizing negative aging perceptions and stressful testing environments on cortisol levels an...
