Explanation:

• Rapid pre-death functional losses are defined as tertiary aging.
• The gap between neurons for neurotransmitters is a synapse.
• Adaptive changes for age-related brain decline are compensatory changes.
• An instrument's ability to measure its intended target is validity.
• Prioritizing positive memory recall is the positivity effect.
• In-depth study of individuals/small groups is a case study.

Answer:

1. Rapid losses that occur right before death: Tertiary aging
2. Gap between neurons where neurotransmitters travel: Synapse
3. Changes that allow older adults to adapt to inevitable behavioral decline that result from changes in specific brain areas: Compensatory Changes
4. How much an instrument measures what it's supposed to measure: Validity
5. When a person remembers more positive information relative to negative information: Positivity effect
6. Intense investigation of individual or small group of people: Case Study
