functioning is reviewed. It is proposed that evaluations of the effects of aging on working …

In this chapter we will focus on changes in working memory from young to late adulthood.
The construct of working memory has been central in the study of cognitive aging. Even prior …

Research concerned with relations between adult age and working memory is reviewed,

Two studies, involving a total of 460 adults between 18 and 87 years of age, were conducted
to determine which of several hypothesized processing components was most responsible …

The construct of working memory has become a central component of many models of
cognitive functioning, including those developed in the areas of thinking, problem solving …

Since its introduction in the 1970s, the concept of working memory has been a catalyst for
research (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974). Working memory is a powerful explanatory construct that …

Three predictions were derived from the hypothesis that adult age differences in certain
measures of cognitive functioning are attributable to age-related reductions in a processing …

The goal of this chapter is to examine and elaborate a theoretical perspective on cognitive
aging, based on the concept that at least some age-related impairments in cognition are …

Three studies, involving a total of 672 adults between 20 and 84 years of age, were
conducted to evaluate the relative importance of working memory and perceptual …

This study investigated whether working-memory (WM) span differences across age are
