Intra-individual variability across fluid cognition can reveal qualitatively different cognitive styles of the aging brain

S De Felice, CA Holland - Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Dispersion is a measure of intra-individual variability reflecting how much performance
across distinct cognitive functions varies within an individual. In cognitive aging studies …
