Executive functioning as a potential mediator of age-related cognitive decline in normal adults. (2003, background): “Adult age differences on one or more measures of performance in this test have been reported numerous times (e.g., T. Y. Arbuckle & Gold, 1993; Axelrod & Henry, 1992; Boone, Miller, & Lesser, 1993; Bryan et al., 1999; Crawford et al., 2000; Daigneault et al., 1992; Davis et al., 1990; Fristoe, Salth”
The Elusive Nature of Executive Functions: A Review of our Current Understanding (2007, background): “Increasing age has been found to correlate with decline in the performance of executive functions, but it has often been difficult to differentiate this decline from a general decline in cognitive abilities (Crawford et al. 2000).”
A meta-analytic review of prospective memory and aging. (2004, background): “There is, for instance, evidence that agerelated deficits in retrospective memory reflect executive impairment (e.g., Parkin & Walter, 1991), and Crawford, Bryan, Luszcz, Obonsawin, and Stewart (2000) found that executive function accounted for age-related variance in free recall and recognition, ”
A meta-analytic review of verbal fluency performance following focal cortical lesions. (2004, background): “Many have emphasized the importance of assessing whether defi cits on executive measures qualify as differential defi cits ( Crawford, Bryan, Luszcz, Obonsawin, & Stewart, 2000; Laws, 1999; Miller, 1984), and a rigorous assessment of this issue is critical if the construct validity of tests of verb”
