TL;DR: The authors discuss neuronal mechanisms underlying adult age differences and similarities in patterns of plasticity and conclude that the potential of deliberate working memory practice as a tool for improving cognition in old age merits further exploration.

TL;DR: Examination of age differences in intraindividual variability of positive affect and negative affect and in contingencies among daily affect, daily stress, and daily events using up to 45 daily assessments of 18 young and 19 older adults found older adults showed significantly less variability in PA and NA than young adults.

TL;DR: It is concluded that late-life changes in subjective well-being are related to mechanisms predicting death and suggest routes for further inquiry.

TL;DR: Examination of actual and perceived trajectories of change in life satisfaction in a national sample of adults, ages 24 to 74 at baseline, who provided retrospective, present, and prospective ratings found temporal realism was associated with more adaptive current functioning than was illusion.

TL;DR: The present article reviews the current longitudinal evidence on correlated changes between magnetic resonance imaging-derived measures of brain structure and laboratory-based measures of fluid cognitive ability in healthy older adults and provides guidance for future researchers by presenting ideas to stimulate theory and methods for development.
