“…Although the concept of intraindividual variability in psychological domains is not new (Fiske & Rice, 1955), the gerontological literature has seen a dramatic growth in the theoretical and empirical interest in variability in older adults. This investigation represents an addition to this area of aging research and establishes a meaningful connection with studies examining intraindividual variability in the earlier portion of the life span.…”

This study examined consistency of performance, or intraindividual variability, in older adults' performance on 3 measures of cognitive functioning: inductive reasoning, memory, and perceptual speed. Theoretical speculation has suggested that such intraindividual variability may signal underlying vulnerability or neurologic compromise. Thirty-six participants aged 60 and older completed self-administered cognitive assessments twice a day for 60 consecutive days. Intraindividual variability was not strongly correlated among the 3 cognitive measures, but, over the course of the study, intraindividual variability was strongly intercorrelated within a task. Higher average performance on a measure was associated with greater performance variability, and follow-up analyses revealed that a higher level of intraindividual variability is positively associated with the magnitude of a person's practice-related gain on a particular measure. The authors argue that both adaptive (practice-related) and maladaptive (inconsistency-related) intraindividual variability may exist within the same individuals over time. Keywordsinconsistency; older adults; cognitive aging; age effects; intraindividual variability in cognitive performance Short-term intraindividual variability represents transient within-person fluctuations in behavioral performance. Some authors have argued that such variability represents the steady-state "hum" of psychological constructs (Ford, 1987;. Li, Huxhold, and Schmiedek (2004) have argued that such short-term intraindividual variability must be distinguished from longer term and more enduring behavioral changes, which more typically would be referred to as development or change (Baltes, Reese, & Nesselroade, 1977;. The goal of the present study was to explore short-term intraindividual variability in cognition in a sample of community-dwelling older adults and to further understand the association of such intraindividual variability with individual differences in cognitive performance level. The current study also examined whether withinperson variability itself remained a stable (i.e., trait-like) attribute of individuals over a 2-month period of repeated measurement.Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Jason C. Allaire NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptThis study extends previous research in several ways. First, we examined intraindividual variability in performance accuracy on a set of primarily fluid or mechanic abilities (inductive reasoning, list memory, perceptual speed). Although such measures have been widely studied in the cognitive aging literature (Ball et al., 2002;Singer, Verhaeghen, Ghisletta, Lindenberger, & Baltes, 2003), much of the gerontological research on intraindividual variability has focused on reaction time data (Anstey, 1999;Hultsch, MacDonald, & Dixon, 2002;MacDonald, Hultsch, & Dixon, 2003;Rabbitt, Osman, Moore, & Stollery, 2001;Strauss, MacDonald, Hunter, Moll, & Hultsch, 2002). Second, we included a subst...
