Adult age trends in the relations among cognitive abilities.
TL;DR: Adult age was examined as a potential moderator of the relations among cognitive abilities in an aggregate dataset based on studies conducted at the Cognitive Aging Lab at the University of Virginia, and there was no evidence for systematic increases in the magnitudes of relations among Cognitive abilities.
Selectivity of Attrition in Longitudinal Studies of Cognitive Functioning
TL;DR: Compared with participants who did not return, returning participants at the initial occasion had higher levels of each cognitive ability and of certain personality characteristics, but many of the differences were only apparent among adults older than 50 years of age.

Correlates of Cognitive Change
TL;DR: There was little evidence that cognitive change was moderated by any of the variables examined, and most of the potential correlates of change had high reliability, and several analyses were based on even more reliable factors determined by the variance common to multiple measures.
Performance on the Iowa Gambling Task: From 5 to 89 years of age.
TL;DR: Cognitive ability was associated with a modeling parameter for memory as well as IGT performance, suggesting the involvement of a cognitive component in young and middle-aged adult decision making, and interactions of modeling parameters suggested that cognitive changes were the cause of lowered performance in older adults.
