Why do adult age differences increase with task complexity
TL;DR: In this article, a total of 451 adults between 18 and 80 years of age participated in two studies conducted to investigate causes of the phenomenon that adult age differences in cognitive performance frequently increase with increased task complexity.

Mechanisms of age-cognition relations in adulthood
Timothy A. Salthouse
- 01 Jul 1992
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of MacEachran Lectures on fluid or process aspects of cognitive functioning is described, with most of the emphasis devoted to the investigation of working memory and processing speed as variables mediating relations between age and cognition.
A psychometric approach to intuitive physics.
TL;DR: It was found that performance on the intuitive physics items was moderately intercorrelated, suggesting that people were tapping into a unitary construct, as well as research on cognitive aging.
Dealing With Short-term Fluctuation in Longitudinal Research
TL;DR: Investigation of a measurement-burst design in which research participants perform several versions of each test at each measurement occasion revealed that more sensitive assessments of change can be obtained by taking short-term fluctuation into account with measurement- Burst designs.
Breadth and age-dependency of relations between cortical thickness and cognition.

TL;DR: Most of the relations between cortical thickness and cognition occurred at a general level corresponding to variance shared among different brain regions and among different cognitive measures, which suggests that at least some of the thickness-cognition relations in age-heterogeneous samples may be attributable to the influence of age on each type of measure.
