Description
A declining birth rate and aging population largely determine the future of Japanese society. Practical skills must be developed to solve problems resulting from ultra-aging by means of scientific knowledge including neuroscience. In this article, we shall review recent neuroscientific studies to explain why many aged people tend to fall prey to deceptions such as bank transfer fraud. Since neural mechanisms underlying deliberative decision making function poorly in aged brain, old people tend to decide automatically. This is why some old people are poor decision-makers. At the end, we shall propose some political treatments to protect old people from deceptions in view of their styles of decision making.
