TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of age, gender, and education on Stroop test performance were investigated to adequately stratify the normative data, and the results showed that especially the speed-dependent Stroop scores (time to complete a subtest), rather than the accuracy measures (the errors made per Stroop sub-task), were profoundly affected by the demographic variables.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Verbal Learning Test (VLT) to evaluate the declarative memory and found that the learning capacity of younger versus older adults differed quantitatively rather than qualitatively.

TL;DR: The written and oral versions of the Letter Digit Substitution Test were administered to a large, cognitively screened sample of adults and the effect of a low versus high level of education on LDST performance was comparable to about 20 years of aging.

TL;DR: The results showed that age affected the performance of all V FTs profoundly, but the age effect was not uniform: in the Profession and Letter M Naming VFTs, performance was stable in young adulthood but declined strongly after age 50, and in contrast, in the Animal N naming VFT, performance appeared to decline linearly, starting early in life.

TL;DR: The results showed that CST performance was superior in women, decreased with age, and increased with level of education, and handedness did not affect CST performance.
