Aging associations: Influence of speed on adult age differences in associative learning.
TL;DR: It is suggested that age-related decreases in speed of processing lead to less effective encoding or elaboration, which results in a fragile representation that is easily disrupted by subsequent processing.
METHODS AND MEASURES Confirmatory factor analysis and multidimensional scaling for construct validation of cognitive abilities
TL;DR: Using a new method, target measures hypothesized to reflect three aspects of cognitive control (updating, storage-plus-processing, and executive functioning) were projected onto the radex disk, and variables from fluid reasoning tests located at the center.
Decomposing adult age differences in symbol arithmetic
TL;DR: Considerable age- related variance remained in the measures of symbol arithmetic performance after statistical control of working memory and associative learning performance, casting doubt on alternative hypotheses of the source of age-related differences in this task.
Memory aging from 18 to 80.
TL;DR: The results suggest that memory aging begins in early adulthood, that it overlaps with other aspects of cognitive aging, and that it can occur without accompanying increases in between-person variability.
Influence of age on practice effects in longitudinal neurocognitive change.
TL;DR: It was concluded that some, but not all, of the discrepancy between cross-sectional and longitudinal age trends in neurocognitive functioning is attributable to practice effects positively biasing the longitudinal trends.
