Within-person variability in state anxiety across adulthood: Magnitude and associations with between-person characteristics:
TL;DR: The authors' results revealed that participants exhibited sizeable across-occasion variation in state anxiety, and the magnitude of variability was unrelated to age, but was associated with a number of individual difference characteristics such as self-reported health, aspects of personality, well-being and cognition.
Effects of first occasion test experience on longitudinal cognitive change.
TL;DR: Effects of additional test experience on longitudinal change in 5 cognitive abilities was examined in a sample of healthy adults and suggested that retest contributions to cognitive change are comparable among healthy adults between 18 and 80 years of age.
The paradox of cognitive change.
TL;DR: Although substantial longitudinal declines were primarily apparent in adults 70 years of age and older, adults under and over age 70 were similar with respect to the variability and reliability of the cognitive changes, and in the magnitude of the correlations with each other and with variables that have been identified as risk factors for late-life cognitive decline and dementia.
Psychometric properties of within-person across-session variability in accuracy of cognitive performance.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated properties of within-person variability in measures of performance accuracy in a sample of more than 1,700 healthy adults and found that the measures of variability in performance accuracy from different cognitive tests had weak correlations with one another, very low stability across time, and near zero correlations with longitudinal change in cognitive abilities.

Differences in Acquisition, Not Retention, Largely Contribute to Sex Differences in Multitrial Word Recall Performance.
TL;DR: It is suggested that one factor contributing to sex differences in recall performance are differences in acquiring new items rather than differences in retaining information across trials.
