Many variables have been assumed to reflect speed of processing, and most are strongly
related to age in the period of adulthood. One of the primary theoretical questions with …

We review the results of a series of meta-analyses by the first author and colleagues,
examining age-related differences in selective attention (Stroop-task survey and negative …

The university participant pool is a key resource for behavioral research, and data quality is
believed to vary over the course of the academic semester. This crowdsourced project …

Cognitive tasks that produce reliable and robust effects at the group level often fail to yield
reliable and valid individual differences. An ongoing debate among attention researchers is …

Aging has been assumed to go along with deficient inhibitory processes in cognitive
performance. According to this inhibition deficit hypothesis, older adults are less able to …

Hearing loss with increasing age adversely affects the ability to understand speech, an effect
that results partly from reduced audibility. The aims of this study were to establish whether …

Predictions concerning development, interrelations, and possible independence of working
memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility were tested in 325 participants (roughly 30 per …

Cognitive aging is a flourishing area of research. A significant amount of new data, a number
of new theoretical notions, and many new research issues have been generated in the past …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Current neuropsychological models propose that some age-related cognitive changes are
due to frontal-lobe deterioration. However, these models have not considered the possible …
