| Annotation | The study capitalizes on a database from a 3-year longitudinal study of memory and intelligence in an age-stratified sample of 583 people aged 28-33 or 55-84 in 1978. The study's aim is to identify normal short- and long-term longitudinal changes in memory and cognition across adulthood and to develop models to explain cognitive changes. Descriptive findings of 3- and 16-year longitudinal change patterns are identified, as well as results suggesting the role of cognitive processing resources and intellectual ability in memory change. Change patterns of the oldest-old who differ from the young-old are discussed. (KJ/RH). |
