Remarkable national and international efforts have produced well over 40 major longitudinal studies of individuals age 50 and older with a significant cognitive assessment component. It is widely recognized that although longitudinal information is time and effort intensive to collect, it is required to address central questions in developmental research relating to intraindividual change and variation and to population inference conditional on attrition and mortality.

These existing longitudinal studies, therefore, represent an ...
