Software

Software described in Deary, I.J. et al. (2011): A free, easy-to-use, computer-based simple and four-choice reaction time programme: The Deary-Liewald reaction time task. Behavior Research Methods

Code

The LBC team have developed code to model cognitive ability level and change in the LBC1936. The text file versions of the code are available for R and Mplus and are free for researchers to use.

 

Code for Conte et al. (2022). Cognitive change before old age (11 to 70) predicts cognitive change during old age (70 to 82). Psychological Science.
