Brain tissue deterioration is a significant contributor to lower cognitive ability in later life; however, few studies have appropriate data to establish how much influence prior brain volume and prior cognitive performance have on this association. We investigated the associations between structural brain imaging biomarkers, including an estimate of maximal brain volume, and detailed measures ...
متن کاملHeuristic and analytic processing: age trends and associations with cognitive ability and cognitive styles.
Developmental and individual differences in the tendency to favor analytic responses over heuristic responses were examined in children of two different ages (10- and 11-year-olds versus 13-year-olds), and of widely varying cognitive ability. Three tasks were examined that all required analytic processing to override heuristic processing: inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning under condition...

As a group, men scored better on tests of visual memory, executive function and psychomotor speed. Women scored better in tests of verbal memory, processing speed, an...
