Continued inhibitory capacity throughout adulthood: conceptual negative priming in younger and older adults
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the conceptual negative priming in younger and older adults. Negative priming refers to slowed or less accurate responses on a probe trial to an item that served as an ignored irrelevant item in a preceding prime trial. Results indicate that wherever negative priming occurs, it is a function of episodic retrieval which proves that inhibitory processes are intact in older adults.

The roles of fatalism, self-confidence, and intellectual resources in the disablement process in older adults
Article Abstract:
The relations between 3 psychological variables, and the subsequent development of illness and disability 20 years later in an adult sample are examined. Results indicated that greater fatalism predicted greater difficulty in everyday cognitive tasks as well as illness in 1994. Results are discussed in the context of models of the disablement process.

Toward an alternative representation for disentangling age-associated differences in general and specific cognitive abilities
Article Abstract:
An unresolved methodological issue is focused, which includes a series of related but not identical approaches for testing general and specific age-associated differences in cognitive abilities. Inorder to disentangle general and age-specific differences in cognitive performance, structural equation models are proposed.
