The processing-speed theory of adult age differences in cognition.
TL;DR: A theory is proposed that increased age in adulthood is associated with a decrease in the speed with which many processing operations can be executed and that this reduction in speed leads to impairments in cognitive functioning because of what are termed the limited time mechanism and the simultaneity mechanism.

Meta-analyses of age–cognition relations in adulthood: Estimates of linear and nonlinear age effects and structural models.
TL;DR: An examination of quadratic age effects and correlational patterns for subsamples under and over 50 years of age revealed that negative age-cognition relations were significant for the 18- to 50-year-old sample and the age-related decline accelerated significantly over the adult life span for variables assessing speed, reasoning, and episodic memory.

The correlative triad among aging, dopamine, and cognition: current status and future prospects.
TL;DR: Research examining the correlative triad among adult age, DA, and cognition has found strong support for the view that age-related DA losses are associated with age- related cognitive deficits.

Neuroanatomical correlates of cognitive aging: Evidence from structural magnetic resonance imaging.
TL;DR: The results indicate that shrinkage of the prefrontal cortex mediates age-related increases in perseveration, and the volume of visual processing areas predicted performance on nonverbal working memory tasks.

The Association Between Age and Health Literacy Among Elderly Persons
TL;DR: Functional health literacy was markedly lower among older age groups even after adjusting for differences in MMSE performance, newspaper reading frequency, health status, and visual acuity.
