Intraindividual coupling of daily stress and cognition
Article Abstract:
An examination of the coupling between naturally occurring stressful experiences and cognitive performance within individuals showed that within-persons (WP) variability in daily stress predicts WP variability on attention-demanding cognitive tasks. Younger and older adults performed worse on stress compared with nonstress days and tests to see whether daily fluctuations in stress influenced moment-to-moment performance variability showed that individuals were not only slow but also were more variable on stress compared with nonstress days.

Aging and the Stroop effect: a meta-analysis
Article Abstract:
There is no significant difference in the Stroop interference effect between younger and older adults. The presumed age-sensitivity of the interference effect in the Stroop task is merely a side effect of general slowing, thus suggesting that the type of inhibition tapped by the Stroop effect is not vulnerable to effects of aging. These were the main findings of a meta-analysis which used data from 20 studies comparing the two age groups on the Stroop effect.
