Interrelations of Aging, Knowledge, and Cognitive Performance
Timothy A. Salthouse
- 01 Jan 2003
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the research literature concerned with the relation between age and knowledge and with the role of knowledge on the relations between ages and cognitive performance, and concluded that the reasons for the failure to find continuous age-related increases in knowledge are still not well understood.

The role of activity engagement in the relations between Openness/Intellect and cognition
TL;DR: It is found that the positive relationship between Openness/Intellect and cognition might be attributable to more open people being more likely to engage in cognitively stimulating activities that are beneficial for cognitive functioning.

Short-Term Variability in Cognitive Performance and the Calibration of Longitudinal Change
TL;DR: This study investigated the phenomenon of considerable variability in cognitive performance from one occasion to another in normal adults, and proposed that this variability might provide a meaningful basis for calibrating change in longitudinal research.
72
Time-accuracy relationships in young and old adults.
TL;DR: It was suggested that aging is associated with a slowing of the information integration and/or response preparation processes but not with a slows of the actual rate of information extraction.

Correlates of Within-Person (Across-Occasion) Variability in Reaction Time
TL;DR: Analyses controlling the variation in one variable when examining relations involving the other variable suggested that an individual's mean reaction time is a more powerful predictor of relations with age and with the level of various cognitive abilities than his or her across-occasion SD.
