This review focuses on conceptual and empirical research on determinants of social cognitive aging. We present an integrated model [the social cognitive resource (SCoRe) framework] to organize the literature and describe how social cognitive resilience is determined jointly by capacity and motivational resources. We discuss how neurobiological aging, driven by genetic and environmental influences, is associated with broader sensory, neural, and physiological changes that are direct determinants of capacity as well as indirect determinants of motivation via their influence on expectation of loss versus reward and cognitive effort valuation. Research is reviewed that shows how contextual factors, such as relationship status, familiarity, and practice, are fundamental to understanding the availability of both types of resource. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of social cognitive change in late adulthood for everyday social functioning and with recommendations for future research.

社会认知老化的决定因素：预测弹性和风险


本综述重点关注社会认知衰老决定因素的概念和实证研究。我们提出了一个综合模型[社会认知资源（SCoRe）框架]来组织文献并描述社会认知弹性如何由能力和动机资源共同决定。我们讨论由遗传和环境影响驱动的神经生物学衰老如何与更广泛的感觉、神经和生理变化相关，这些变化是能力的直接决定因素，以及通过影响损失与奖励的预期和认知努力评估而间接决定动机的因素。研究回顾表明，关系状态、熟悉程度和实践等背景因素对于理解这两种类型的资源的可用性至关重要。最后，我们讨论了成年晚期社会认知变化对日常社会功能的影响，并对未来的研究提出了建议。
