来自西雅图纵向研究的证据表明，中年的认知方式和其他生活方式变量可以预测老年能力下降模式和速度的部分个体差异。某些预测变量的差异重要性作为实际能力下降程度在不同年龄的函数进行了检验。在中年早期，态度灵活性在流体能力和运动-认知灵活性方面保持着较高的功能水平。在后一个变量上的高表现，以及积极的生活方式和没有家庭解体，似乎对从中年到老年维持高水平的能力表现至关重要。
Evidence is presented from the Seattle Longitudinal Study to show that cognitive style and other life style variables in midlife can predict part of the individual differences in pattern and rate of ability decline in old age. Differential importance of certain predictor variables are examined as a function of the extent of actul ability decline at various ages. During early middle age attitudinal flexibility maintains high level of function on the fluid abilities and on motor-cognitive flexibility. High performance on the latter variables at midlife as well as an engaged life style and the absence of family dissolution appear to be critical for the maintenance of high levels of ability performance from middle into old age.
