Structural and operational capacities in integrative spatial ability.
TL;DR: Salthouse et al. as mentioned in this paper explored a distinction between structural capacity, the maximum number of informational units that can be temporarily stored, and operational capacity, which is the number of processing operations which can be executed while simultaneously preserving the products of earlier processing.

Utilization of path-analytic procedures to investigate the role of processing resources in cognitive aging
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the viability of models postulating that age differences in the quantity or efficiency of processing resources are responsible for many of the age differences observed in cognitive functioning and found little support for a strong resource model, and evidence derived from a weak resource model suggested that resource-mediated contributions to age differences are small relative to those not mediated by processing resources.

Task decomposition analysis of intertrial free recall performance on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test in normal aging and Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: It is argued that analytically decomposing learning curves will help both in uncovering the cognitive processes that underlie disease-related learning deficits in persons with memory disorders and can help to characterize potential areas for remediation.

An individual differences analysis of memory control
TL;DR: Performance on a wide variety of memory tasks can be hypothesized to be influenced by processes associated with controlling the contents of memory, but only a few of the measures of memory control were reliable at the level of individual differences.

Multiple spans in transcription typing
TL;DR: This prediction was tested, and largely confirmed, in three studies in which typists were administered a variety of experimental tasks to obtain span measures corresponding to the extent of anticipatory processing in different components of typing.
