Abstract
We aimed to examine differences in emotional cognitive processing in young and older Hispanic adults. Two computer-programmed cognitive tasks were used to measure attention bias to emotional faces and interference caused by emotional words. Results support a need for research on cultural differences in emotional cognitive processing in aging.
