Influence of cognitive abilities and age on word recall performance across trials and list segments.
TL;DR: Higher episodic memory ability was associated with better recall on all list segments but with a smaller influence for the last items on the early trials, and performance improved across trials, but there were no relations of the fluid intelligence construct that might be postulated to be associated with effective strategy implementation with any of the recall measures.
Memory and age differences in spatial manipulation ability.
TL;DR: This article showed that older adults may be impaired in the ability to retain information while simultaneously processing the same or other information, and older adults were less accu-rate when the same types of decisions were required in the context of an ongoing task.
Sources of Age-Related Individual Differences in Block Design Tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility that adult age differences on block design tasks originate at least in part because of a reduced efficiency with increased age in the cognitive processes associated with block manipulation.

Effects of age and ability on components of cognitive change
TL;DR: Investigating experience effects by obtaining measures of cognitive performance separated by days and by years found that change across short intervals was typically positive, and greater among older adults and adults with low levels of cognitive ability, whereas change over intervals of approximately three years was often negative, particularly at older ages.
