Hundred days of cognitive training enhance broad cognitive abilities in adulthood: findings from the COGITO study

We examined whether positive transfer of cognitive training, which so far has been observed for individual tests only, also generalizes to cognitive abilities, thereby carrying greater promise for improving everyday intellectual competence in adulthood and old age. In the COGITO Study, 101 younger and 103 older adults practiced six tests of perceptual speed (PS), three tests of working memory (WM), ...

Keeping It Steady: Older Adults Perform More Consistently on Cognitive Tasks Than Younger Adults

People often attribute poor performance to having bad days. Given that cognitive aging leads to lower average levels of performance and more moment-to-moment variability, one might expect that older adults should show greater day-to-day variability and be more likely to experience bad days than younger adults.

Do Optional Deductibles Reduce the Number of Doctor Visits? Empirical Evidence with German Data

Deductibles in health insurance are often regarded as a means to contain health care costs when individuals exhibit moral hazard.

We use a set of new variables in the German Socioeconomic Panel for the years 2002, 2004, and 2006 that measure individual health ...
