Abstract Research concerned with relations between adult age and cognitive functioning is briefly reviewed. The coverage is necessarily selective, and is organized in terms of five major questions. These are what abilities are related to age, how many distinct influences are contributing to the relations between age and cognitive functioning, do the differences between people increase with advancing age, what is responsible for the discrepancies between cross-sectional and longitudinal age comparisons of cognitive functioning, and what methods can be used to identify causes of age-related influences on cognition. Although definitive answers are not yet possible, quite a bit of information relevant to the questions is now available. Moreover, the existing information has implications for the design, analysis, and interpretation of cognitive and neuropsychological research concerned with aging. (JINS, 2010, 16, 754–760.)

Does grandparenting pay off? The effect of child care on grandparents' cognitive functioning (2014, methodology): “We chose not to combine the four different measures of cognitive abilities into a single index because they refer to different dimensions of cognitive functioning (Salthouse 2010).”
Effects of aging on functional and structural brain connectivity☆ (2017, background): “A question that remains therefore is whether the observed age-related differences/changes in functional connectivity are associated with the well-established age-related decline in cognitive performance (Craik and Salthouse, 2011; Salthouse, 2010).”
