Limitations and future research
emotion-based behaviors
Our study was a first attempt at using the pre-existing wmCPMs to predict emotion regulation strategy preferences in older adults, yet our findings were limited by several factors. First, despite some shared features between the strategies employed in prior ERC tasks and those in the current study, the specific cognitive processes and neural correlates that influence preferences for acceptance Second, social desirability bias and motivations common among older adults potentially confounded clear interpretations of the observed preferences for acceptance during low-intensity images. Older adults tend to behave in socially desirable ways (Finally, our study used existing wmCPMs to predict strategy use rather than deriving a new neural marker predictive of strategy use. As such, the functional edges associated with WM performance may meaningfully differ from the edges predictive of emotion-based behaviors. It may have been more fruitful to derive CPM networks using functional connectivity data collected during the
