DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Age differences in the speed with which children, adolescents, and adults execute mental processes are ubiquitous and large. Furthermore, age differences in processing speed often affect other cognitive processes directly and indirectly, via working memory. Understanding the nature and consequences of these age differences is the general goal of the proposed work. Three specific aims follow from this goal: 1. Most of the evidence concerning change in processing speed comes from cross-sectional studies; relatively little is known about growth of processing speed in individuals. A proposed longitudinal study will provide evidence concerning the nature of growth of processing speed in individuals during childhood and adolescence. 2. Evidence regarding the consequences of age-related change in processing speed it is based largely on cross-sectional analyses of correlations between processing speed and other cognitive processes. The proposed longitudinal study is designed to provide stronger evidence for the cognitive consequences of developmental change in processing speed. 3. Cognitive development reflects both processes that are global (e.g., processing speed, working memory) as well as processes specific to particular domains of knowledge. Nevertheless, there is little research that addresses the contributions of both global and domain-specific processes within a single task or domain. Four studies are proposed that would reveal how the indirect and direct effects of age-related change in processing speed interact with domain-specific processes to yield cognitive change.

描述（由申请人提供）：儿童、青少年和成人执行心理过程的速度的年龄差异是普遍存在的，而且很大。此外，处理速度的年龄差异经常通过工作记忆直接或间接地影响其他认知过程。了解这些年龄差异的本质和后果是拟议工作的总体目标。从这个目标出发有三个具体目标：
