Adult age differences in short-term memory for serial order: data and a model
Article Abstract:
Research into short-term memory for serial order in 20- and 65-year-olds showed a significant drop with age of 12% in overall performance. Age-related variance in overall performance was cut from 19% to zero when processing speed or fluid intelligence was taken into consideration. The age difference in overall performance was not substantially greater for visual presentation than for auditory presentation. There were large rises with age in the numbers of movement, intrusion and omission mistakes and moved and omitted items for both auditory and visual presentation.

Age-related changes in the associations of social network ties with mortality risk
Article Abstract:
Having fewer living children and belonging to fewer organizations are connected with higher mortality risk, according to research into the links between a number of types of social ties and mortality risk over a 50-year period in a group of people who were homogenous on age at baseline. The connections were statistically significant for women and marginally significant for men. Number of living siblings was the only form of social tie not linked with mortality risk for either men or women.
