Abstract
Presents Daliah Ross as the 2022 winner of the American Psychological Association Psi Chi/APA Edwin B. Newman Graduate Research Award. This award is given for an exceptional research article titled, 'Prefrontal Cortex Activation During Dual-Task Walking in Older Adults Is Moderated by Thickness of Several Cortical Regions.' This work was based on the concept of neural inefficiency (i.e., greater neural activation coupled with similar or worse performance) and hypothesized that decreased cortical thickness across multiple brain regions would be associated with greater increases in prefrontal cortex activation from single- to dual-task walking. Ms. Ross's research appears to be the first study to examine cortical thickness as a marker of neural inefficiency during active walking. The cortical regions implicated, involved in sensory, motor, and cognitive functioning, provided further evidence for the complicated nature of cognitive control of locomotion in aging.
