Purpose The purpose of this study is to review scholarly research on elderly consumers’ information processing and suggest implications for services marketing. Design/methodology/approach The review encompasses a five-decade period (1970–2018) of academic research and presents relevant literature in four main areas related to information processing: sensation, attention, interpretation and memory. Findings The study illustrates how each of the aforementioned phases of the information processing activity may affect how elderly individuals buy and consume products and services, emphasizing the need for a better comprehension of the elderly to develop effectual marketing strategies. Originality/value The study provides readers with detailed state-of-the-art knowledge about older consumers’ information processing, offering a comprehensive review of academic research that companies can use to improve the effectiveness of their marketing efforts that target the elderly market.

Older adults exhibit a reduced ability to ignore task-irrelevant stimuli; however, it remains to be determined where along the information processing stream the most salient age-associated changes occur. In the current study, ERPs provided an opportunity to determine whether age-related differences in processing task-irrelevant stimuli were uniform across information processing stages or disproportionately affected either early or late selection. ERPs were measured in young and old adults during a color-selective attention task in which participants responded to target letters in a specified color (attend condition) while ignoring letters in a different color (ignore condition). Old participants were matched to two groups of young participants on the basis of neuropsychological test performance: one using age-appropriate norms and the other using test scores not adjusted for age. There were no age-associated differences in the magnitude of early selection (attend–ignore), as indexed by the size of the anterior selection positivity and posterior selection negativity. During late selection, as indexed by P3b amplitude, both groups of young participants generated neural responses to target letters under the attend versus ignore conditions that were highly differentiated. In striking contrast, old participants generated a P3b to target letters with no reliable differences between conditions. Individuals who were slow to initiate early selection appeared to be less successful at executing late selection. Despite relative preservation of the operations of early selection, processing delays may lead older participants to allocate excessive resources to task-irrelevant stimuli during late selection.

Many teams face the problem of process loss, or suboptimal functioning, with sometimes serious consequences, such as medical errors. Team reflexivity—a deliberate process of discussing team goals, processes, or outcomes—can aid in optimizing team performance. In the current chapter, we build on a conceptualization of teams as information-processing systems and highlight reflexivity as a critical information processing activity. Specifically, we describe the relationship of team reflexivity to team and organizational learning and emphasize the dynamic, self-regulatory process aspect of team reflexivity as well as the role of goal setting. Furthermore, we describe the antecedents and outcomes of team reflexivity, the role of motivated information processing, the important role of team reflexivity in problem identification and problem solving, and how team reflexivity can be stimulated. Finally, we discuss the implications of our review and identify avenues for future research.

Clark’s philosophy brings body, brain, and world together again, offering a new conception of both human and nonhuman cognition. This chapter agrees that the predictive processing framework provides our best bet for a species-neutral cognitive science. However, the use of cognitivist, representational language often seems unnecessary, especially when J. J. Gibson introduced a “resonance” metaphor to replace notions of representation, hypothesis, and inference. This chapter is therefore interested to know why Clark resists embracing Gibson, when this seems one of the best ways to embrace evolutionary continuity. The chapter also raises the apparent tension between the predictive processing position and that of the extended mind: Is the brain the principal seat of information-processing activity? Or is it userless tools all the way down? Finally, the chapter raises the issue of epistemic artefacts, and whether these increase or decrease cognitive load.

ABSTRACTAfter reviewing different theoretical models of the functionning of the human subject (not mediational, mediational, information processing, activity, etc) we focus on the analysis of the human subject in the modern cognitive psychology.We comment upon fundamental postulates of the cognitive approach to the human subject, ending with the process structure in advocates (basic structures and processes, mental representation; complex processes) as its most common aproach from Psychology.RESUMENTras revisar distintos modelos teóricos de funcionamiento del sujeto humano (no-mediacionales, mediacionales, de la actividad, etc.) nos centramos en el análisis del sujeto humano en la moderna psicología cognitiva.Se comentan catorce postulados fundamentales de la aproximación cognitiva al sujeto humano y se finaliza con la estructura de procesos que ésta propugna (estructuras y procesos de base; representaciones mentales; procesos complejos) como el modo más habitual de abordar su estudio desde la Psicología actual.
