Objective
To evaluate cohort differences in cognitive performance in older men and women born and assessed 28 years apart.
Methods
Data in this study were drawn from two age-homogeneous cohorts measured in the same laboratory using the same standardized cognitive performance tests. Participants in the first cohort were born in 1910 and 1914 and assessed in 1989–1990 (Evergreen project, n = 500). Participants in the second cohort were born in 1938 or 1939 and 1942 or 1943 and assessed in 2017–2018 (Evergreen II, n = 724). Participants in both cohorts were assessed at age 75 and 80 years and were recruited from the population register. Cognitive performance was measured using the Digit Span test from the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), Digit Symbol test from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and phonemic Verbal Fluency test from the Schaie-Thurstone Adult Mental Abilities Test. Reaction time assessing motor and mental responses was measured with a simple finger movement task, followed by a complex finger movement task. T-tests were used to study cohort differences and linear regression models to study possible factors underlying differences.
Results
We found statistically significant cohort differences in all the cognitive performance tests, except for the digit span test and simple movement task in men, the later-born cohort performing better in all the measured outcomes.
Conclusions
The results of this study provide strong evidence that cognitive performance is better in more recent cohorts of older people compared to their counterparts measured 28 years earlier.

Cohort differences in maximal physical performance : a comparison of 75- and 80-year-old men and women born 28 years apart
Koivunen, Kaisa; Sillanpää, Elina; Munukka, Matti; Portegijs, Erja; Rantanen, Taina (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2021)Whether increased life expectancy is accompanied by increased functional capacity in older people at specific ages is unclear. We compared similar validated measures of maximal physical performance in two population-based ... -

Role of on-screen visual stimuli reaction times, subcomponents of attention, and gender in RAN and reading fluency association.
Karantinou, Evgenia (2021)Rapid automatized naming (RAN) is the capacity to retrieve and fluently designate serially displayed stimuli, e.g. letters or objects. RAN, as a speeded task, is correlated with processing speed and reaction times. RAN is ... -
Allometrically scaled explosive strength, but not static strength or maximal oxygen uptake is associated with better central processing time in young males
