Summary
This study looks at how getting older and feeling stressed can change the way we remember and find our way around. Researchers will have 85 adults aged 65-80 do a virtual navigation task while their brains are scanned. Some will be put under mild stress to see if it makes them rely on habits instead of flexible thinking. The goal is to understand why some people handle these changes better than others.
