Influence of working memory on adult age differences in matrix reasoning
TL;DR: It was concluded that the factors responsible for variation in item difficulty were distinct from those responsible for the age differences, and young adults were found to be more accurate than older adults at recognizing information presented earlier in the matrix reasoning trial, thereby supporting the interpretation that working memory exerts its influence by contributing to the preservation of information during subsequent processing.
Are East Asian versus American differences in arithmetical ability a recent phenomenon
TL;DR: For instance, Geary et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the advantage of Chinese adults over American adults in complex arithmetic might be a relatively recent phenomenon, and that the more recent East Asian advantage in arithmetic, and perhaps other mathematical domains, likely reflects secular changes within the United States rather than an East Asia advantage in intel- ligence.

Theoretical Perspectives on Cognitive Aging
Timothy A. Salthouse
- 01 Jun 1991
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the evidence of age-related differences in cognitive functioning and then evaluated the major explanations proposed to account for the negative relations between age and cognition that have been established, concluding that progress has been made in explaining cognitive aging phenomena, plus recommendations for research practices that might contribute to greater progress in future.
Implications of the Flynn Effect for Age-Cognition Relations.
TL;DR: The results indicated that there were similar time-of-measurement increases in cognitive scores at different ages, which were accompanied by nearly constant cross-sectional age differences, but positively inflated estimates of longitudinal age differences.
Does Need for Cognition Have the Same Meaning at Different Ages
TL;DR: Examination of both internal and external relations of NC indicated that the meaning of the construct may be the same across the life span, and showed that the strongest predictor of NC was Openness to Experience, at any age.
