The findings suggest that a working memory decline in older adults is indeed due to an inability to ignore distracting information, which furthermore cannot be improved with preparedness.

I'm not sure what is meant by that but I disagree with the flat statement.

Maybe older people have learned the hard way that the things you think are important aren’t always the end all and be all . . . that everything counts.

Everything counts, for what?

What was I saying? I’m thirsty. Is there fresh coffee made?

This can't be the first study, because liberals have been distracting old people for as long as I can remember. Republicans are going to end or cut your social security.... or meds, or health care...
