A research strategy for investigating group differences in a cognitive construct: Application to ageing and executive processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a strategy involving five distinct phases is proposed as a means of obtaining the most informative evidence about group differences in a particular aspect of cognitive functioning, which is illustrated with research on adult age differences in executive processes.

Attrition in Longitudinal Data is Primarily Selective with Respect to Level Rather than Rate of Change.
TL;DR: The results suggest that generalizability of longitudinal comparisons may be restricted to individuals with relatively high levels of cognitive functioning, but that rates of cognitive change are nearly comparable for individuals completing different numbers of longitudinal occasions.
Groups versus individuals as the comparison unit in cognitive aging research
TL;DR: In this article, a database containing speed and memory data from 362 adults ranging from 20 to 79 years of age was analyzed to determine the nature of the normative cross-sectional age trends for each variable and estimate the sensitivity of within-individual comparisons for detection of age differences.

Little relation of adult age with cognition after controlling general influences.
TL;DR: It is found that adult age appears to have weak relations with specific measures of cognitive functioning, defined as independent of influences shared across different types of cognitive measures, and that this is true in both cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons.
Age and tachistoscopic perception.
TL;DR: Young and old adult subjects exhibit performance differences in tachistoscopic perception which involves the earliest stages of information processing; and, if so, what is the nature of these differences?
