| Preferred Name | scaffolding theory of cognition and aging |
| Definitions |
Integrative theory of cognitive aging that "posits that behavior is maintained at a relatively high level with age, despite neural challenges and functional deterioration, due to the continuous engagement of compensatory scaffolding—the recruitment of additional circuitry that shores up declining structures whose functioning has become noisy, inefficient, or both." (Park & Reuter-Lorenz, 2009, p. 183).
