Sources of Method Bias in Social Science Research and Recommendations on How to Control It

TL;DR: The meaning of the terms "method" and "method bias" are explored and whether method biases influence all measures equally are examined, and the evidence of the effects that method biases have on individual measures and on the covariation between different constructs is reviewed.

Human cognitive abilities: A survey of factor analytic studies

TL;DR: A survey of factor analytic studies of human cognitive abilities can be found in this paper, with a focus on the role of factor analysis in human cognitive ability evaluation and cognition. But this survey is limited.

Normal Cognitive Aging

TL;DR: The neurocognitive changes observed in normal aging are described, followed by a description of the structural and functional alterations seen in aging brains.

The Impact of Age on Cognition

TL;DR: The most important changes in cognition with normal aging are declines in performance on cognitive tasks that require one to quickly process or transform information to make a decision, including measures of speed of processing, working memory and executive cognitive function.

The speed-accuracy tradeoff: history, physiology, methodology, and behavior

TL;DR: A “users guide” of SAT methodology is presented, including a critical review of common experimental manipulations and analysis techniques and a treatment of the typical behavioral patterns that emerge when SAT is manipulated directly.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

The validity and utility of selection methods in personnel psychology: Practical and theoretical implications of 85 years of research findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the practical and theoretical implications of 85 years of research in personnel selection and concluded that the most important property of a personnel assessment method is predictive validity: the ability to predict future job performance, job related learning (such as amount of learning in training and development programs), and other criteria.

Human Cognitive Abilities: A Survey of Factor-Analytic Studies

TL;DR: A survey of correlational and factor-analytic research on cognitive abilities can be found in this paper, with a focus on the three-stratum theory of cognitive abilities and higher order factors of cognitive ability.
