Dispersion in cognitive functioning: Age differences over the lifespan.

INTRODUCTION A growing body of research suggests that intraindividual variability (IIV) may bring specific information on cognitive functioning, additional to that provided by the mean. The present paper focuses on dispersion, that is IIV across tasks, and its developmental trend across the lifespan.
