Reply to Schooler: Consistent Is Not Conclusive.
TL;DR: In this reply, I address the major issues raised by Schooler in his commentary on my article and suggest that there is empirical evidence that can be interpreted as being consistent with some aspects of the mental-exercise hypothesis.
Interrelations of Age, Visual Acuity, and Cognitive Functioning
TL;DR: The discovery that measures of corrected visual acuity and processing speed share a very large proportion of the age-related variance in measures of working memory, associative learning, and concept identification suggests a relatively general reduction in central nervous system functioning.
Skilled performance: Effects of adult age and experience on elementary processes.
TL;DR: This paper found that the major difference between young and old adults on simple perceptual and cognitive tasks is the rate of processing nearly all types of information, suggesting that improvement is due to shifts in the type of information being processed, in the identity or sequence of processing operations, and in the attention requirements of the task.
Determinants of eye-fixation duration.
TL;DR: A two-component model to account for the duration of single eye-fixations is suggested, estimated to be about 200 msec without any stimulus processing, but subject to a number of influences that can substantially increase or decrease this duration.
From the Present to the Future
TL;DR: Luszcz and Bryan as discussed by the authors reviewed recent research on aging and memory and clearly described the major theoretical perspectives proposed to account for the relation between the two aspects of the aging process.
