| Annotation | The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between a new battery of everyday cognition measures, which assessed four cognitive abilities within three familiar real-world domains, and traditional psychometric tests of the same basic cognitive abilities. The sample consisted of 174 community-dwelling older adults in Detroit (average age 73 years). Results showed that each everyday cognitive test was strongly correlated with the basic cognitive abilities; several basic abilities, as well as measures of domain-specific knowledge, predicted everyday cognitive performance; and everyday and basic measures were similarly related to age. The results suggest that everyday cognition is not unrelated to traditional measures, nor is it less sensitive to age-related differences. (AKM). |
