Description
Kylie Schiloski and Margie Lachman asked whether believing in control protects the aging mind in two thousand twenty-three. People who feel in charge of their thinking often perform better. Whether that belief slows decline was unclear. A national midlife study supplied two waves a decade apart. About two thousand five hundred adults took part. Memory and executive function were tested at both waves.
Baseline beliefs were set against later change. Starting skill, schooling, and health were held constant. Age was tested as a possible modifier. Belief in control tracked with better maintenance for some. The pattern hints mindset shapes cognitive aging. Interventions might train control beliefs deliberately. Long horizons make the finding valuable.
