The strong connection between sensory and cognitive performance in old age: not due to sensory acuity reductions operating during cognitive assessment
Article Abstract:
A study of cognitive aging is presented, using middle aged subjects under age-simulation conditions. The findings do not support assessment-related sensory acuity accounts of the increase in the relationship between cognitive and sensory functioning, which is related to age.

Emergence of a powerful connection between sensory and cognitive functions across the adult life span: a new window to the study of cognitive aging?
Article Abstract:
A survey of 687 individuals whose ages ranged from 25-103 years was conducted to find out the correlation between sensory abilities, such as vision and hearing, and intelligence. Results show that the link is stronger among those within the higher age bracket (70-103 years) than among those belonging to the 25-69 years range. A probable explanation for this result is brain aging.
