Adult participants ages 18-35 and 60-80 will participant in videoconference calls during which they will perform a brief mental exercise, then see 83 celebrity photographs with instructions to name each pictured person. The naming task will be video recorded for later scoring. Participants will also complete other surveys and measures, including some about demographics and other personal characteristics. Participation will take approximately 60-75 minutes.
