Abstract :
[en] Background: Middle-age or midlife is an age period spanning from 40 to 65 years old. This
specific period of life is associated with its share of changes including in cognitive performance. Indeed, some high-level cognitive functions seem to decline such as memory or executive functions whereas other aspects of cognition seem to improve such as spatial orientation. However, the few studies that tackled the subject also showed a high inter-subject’ variability for individuals within the same age-group. Objective: The goal of this scoping review is to identify all previous studies and synthetize the changes in the functioning of high-level cognitive processes associated with middle-age.
