    Body representation is shaped by integrating information from various sensory modalities. This study investigated the relationship between age-related changes in the visuo-proprioceptive integration of body representation and interoceptive ability. Results showed that older adults demonstrated a greater proprioceptive drift than younger counterparts. Further, the results revealed that younger adults’ proprioceptive drift tended to diminish as time elapsed; conversely, older adults did not experience any reduction. No discrepancies were detected between age groups on any interoceptive abilities. However, all participants exhibited a significant positive correlation between their interoceptive sensibility and the degree of body position perception update. Therefore, it can be concluded that the higher their interoceptive sensibility, the more likely it is that participants experience body position perception update. These results suggest that interoceptive ability is associated with the update process of body position perception but does not explain the gap between age groups.

    Humans, as prosocial animals, expose themselves to the risk of exploitation if they fail to determine whether other individuals are trustworthy. People are keen to ascertain the trustworthiness of others that they instantly form initial impressions of others’ trustworthiness from perceptual cues, especially from faces. However, because perceived trustworthiness has low predictive validity, “true” trustworthiness of another individual must be learned from that person’s actual behavior. Considering the increasing societal and scholarly attention to fraud victimization among older adults, we conducted a series of studies comparing the perceptions and learning of other people’s trustworthiness between older and younger adults. The results showed a cross-age similarity in trustworthiness perception (Study 1), but an age-related decline in trustworthiness learning (Study 2). Furthermore, ventral striatal activity was found to be related to older adults’ failure to learn trustworthiness, suggesting the involvement of motivational mechanisms (Study 3).

    This article discusses the psychological impact of leisure across a lifetime using a life-course perspective, which assumes that people’s experiences at earlier life stages shape their following developmental trajectories. Since leisure activities are part of one’s lifestyle, adopting this perspective to leisure research is invaluable. By reviewing a variety of research, the article discusses 1) the progress of psychological leisure research and the impact of leisure on subjective well-being and cognitive functioning, 2) transitions in leisure and their relationship from a life-course perspective, and 3) the benefits related to the accumulation of leisure activities across the lifespan. The present review concludes that positive psychological achievement (e.g., self-worth, affirmation, and self-realization) and cognitive foundation (e.g., high levels of basic cognitive skills) shaped through leisure participation in early life stages help overcome challenges in later stages (i.e., successfully adapt to psychological vulnerability and cognitive decline in old age).

    Some older adults desire to continue living in the community in which they reside. The concept of Aging in Place (AIP) is appropriate for this idea. For AIP to be successful, the oldest-old need to demonstrate their abilities and live safely, independently, and comfortably in their homes and communities. Conversely, AIP in an inappropriate manner, without a safe environment, and without support provided, comprising dangerous situations caused by declining cognitive and physical function, lead to reduced quality of life for older people. Therefore, this study aimed to examine cognitive function in the oldest-old to understand differences between normal aging and cognitive decline due to dementia. Cognitive decline due to normal aging in the oldest-old is caused by impaired frontal lobe function, while decline due to Alzheimer’s disease is caused by impaired temporal-parietal lobe function, suggesting that this impairment may be useful for achieving independence for AIP.

    Support systems have been developed to facilitate the active participation of the visually and hearing impaired, as these impairments limit information acquisition and activities. However, efforts to improve the quality and quantity of information presented to persons with disabilities are still in the developmental stage due to the unique perception and recognition styles in persons with visual and hearing impairments. By clarifying such perception and recognition mechanisms and the current status of assistive technologies, researchers can develop support schemes taking advantage of the abilities of people with visual and hearing impairments, and extend their information processing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to organize the unique characteristics of perceptual ability and communication strategies reportedly acquired by persons with visual and hearing impairments and the information assurance methods based on sensory substitution. For the visually impaired, we describe a visual substitution system that focuses on sound and tactile information, in addition to their sensory substitution functions. We also introduce example applications through support methods in parasports and computer games. For the hearing impaired, we review communication methods and support strategies using information devices.

    Text-based online counseling services are rapidly spreading, especially among younger generations. However, previous research on text-based online counseling is limited to young users in Western countries. Given its potential utility for broader populations, description of the public image of the service is necessary to reach broader populations. The current study aimed to describe public images of text-based online counseling in Japan, focusing on generational differences. An online survey asked Japanese participants (N = 614) from a wide age range (M = 41.77; SD = 11.98, range = 20 to 76) to freely describe their image and impressions of “SNS counseling,” the Japanese term for text-based counseling. We quantified each description with the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) algorithm, a deep learning technology for natural language processing. We explored the components of images of text-based online counseling that linearly correlate with age. The main result indicated that the image of text-based online counseling among younger participants clustered around lightness, with both positive and negative connotations. Younger participants regarded text-based online counseling as easy to access but less serious. The image of text-based online counseling among older participants indicated that they were anxious about not being able to see the “face” of the counselor, and were concerned about security and privacy.
