Age Differences and Educational Attainment Across the Life Span on Three Generations of Wechsler Adult Scales
TL;DR: In this paper, a large representative sample of adults tested during the standardizations of three versions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) served as subjects: WAIS-R (N = 1,480, ages 20-74), WAISIII (n = 2,093, ages 19-90), and WAISIV (n= 1,800, ages20-90).
Independence of Age-Related Influences on Cognitive Abilities across the Life Span.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the majority of age-related differences appear to be shared across different cognitive variables and are well predicted by individual differences in higher order factors, suggesting that the role of task-specific interpretations of developmental differences in cognition needs to be reevaluated.
Personality-cognition relations across adulthood.
TL;DR: Comparisons across different age groups indicated that the personality-cognition relations were both qualitatively and quantitatively similar across the adult years.
Which Aspects of Social Support Are Associated With Which Cognitive Abilities for Which People
TL;DR: The results suggest that contact with family and friends, emotional and informational support, anticipated support, and negative interactions are related to cognition, whereas satisfaction with and tangible support were not.
Influence of processing speed on adult age differences in working memory.
TL;DR: The results from both studies indicated that statistical control of the measures of perceptual comparison speed greatly attenuated the age-related variance in measures of working memory even when working memory was assessed under self-paced conditions.
