We hypothesized that the degree in which irrelevant stimuli attract attention and occupy cognitive capacity, thereby interfering with the motor task, depends not only on the stimuli's saliency, but also on the participants' creativity and age. We investigated event-related potentials (ERP) and behavioural data in four groups – more creative and less creative younger (18–30 years) and older (60–75 years) adults – by presenting unambiguous and ambiguous portrait paintings and photos of faces in equal proportions before and after the target stimuli. Our results showed that aging affected behavioural and ERP responses, but there were no interactions between age groups, creativity and the three types of stimuli. Older adults were not more exposed to the interference caused by distractor stimuli as they compensated with bilateral activity to reach a similar performance to the younger group. The reaction time was faster for targets when they followed the faces rather than the portrait paintings, so, faces may have been less salient to the participants than paintings. The three types of stimuli were differentiated in all the processing stages. Creativity had a measured effect in the earliest (P1) stage with more creative groups being able to distinguish between unambiguous and ambiguous stimuli; and also, in the last processing stage (CNV), in which task-irrelevant stimuli, particularly photos of faces, were less distracting for more creative participants in task preparation. The results show that creativity in general has an influence even at the earliest stage of visual perception.

The paradigm is suitable for separating the maintenance and updating functions in working memory (WM), in addition to gate opening (the switch cost in reference trials) and gate closing (the switch cost in comparison trials) assumed by the prefrontal-cortex basal-ganglia WM model. We used referenced-back task to assess how age affects these WM processes by examining two age groups, the younger (aged 18-30, N=29) and the older (aged 60-75, N=30). In the second phase of our experiment we used task-irrelevant distractors (faces and scrambled faces) in the background of the reference-back task to examine if the elderly are more likely to process irrelevant stimuli, and if so, then which stage or subprocesses of the WM are affected by these stimuli. Although we failed to find any differences in the gate opening/closing mechanisms and updating cost between the two age groups; however, we observed that older participants needed more time for substitution, this being the facility to update WM with new information, and for matching: comparing of the current and the reference stimuli to each other. The age-related differences decreased when irrelevant distractors were presented. And despite both aging group not being able to ignore the task-irrelevant stimuli as evidenced by performing better than by chance; in the old-new task, contrary to our expectations, young adults were able to outperform the elderly by identifying more faces. Behavioural data and event-related potentials (P2 and P3) will be discussed in regard to present age-related differences in WM. The research was supported by the hungarian research Fund (OTKA K 115457).

In the present study we investigated the possibility of a similar effect, the automatic registration of facial age. Pictures of young and older faces were presented to young (N = 20, mean age: 22.0 years) and elderly (N = 20, mean age: 68.4 years) participants. The faces were irrelevant, and appeared around the location of the stimulus field of a tracking task. In different blocks either young faces were presented infrequently (deviant) in a sequence of elderly faces (standard), or vice versa. In this study, vMMN emerged only in the older group to same age deviants. This finding is explained by the less effective inhibition of irrelevant stimuli in the elderly, and corresponds to the own-age bias effect of recognition studies. As the results show, photographs of facial age violating the regularity of sequences are detected automatically, but this deviancy is less salient than facial emotion or gender.
