The Associations of Patient Demographic Characteristics and Health Information Recall: The Mediating Role of Health Literacy
AGING NEUROPSYCHOLOGY AND COGNITION, 16(4), 419–432.
author keywords: Depression; Personality; Neurocognitive function
MeSH headings : Adult; Black or African American; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Aging; Educational Status; Female; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice; Humans; Hypertension; Male; Mental Recall; Middle Aged; Models, Psychological; Racial Groups; Sex Characteristics; Socioeconomic Factors; United States; White People; Young Adult
TL;DR:
It is suggested that health literacy might be one of the mechanisms underlying the relationships between participant demographic characteristics and poor health outcomes due to inaccurate recall of instructions.

Using Innovative Outliers to Detect Discrete Shifts in Dynamics in Group-Based State-Space Models
MULTIVARIATE BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH, 44(4), 465–496.
TL;DR:
This work extends De Jong and Penzer's 1998 approach for representing outliers in single-subject state-space models to a group-based framework and indicates that a subset of older adults showed sudden shifts in learning dynamics in several forms, including sudden jumps in level, slope, and linkage between perceived control and actual performance level.

An Examination of Dedifferentiation in Cognition Among African–American Older Adults
Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology, 24(2), 193–208.

MeSH headings : Black or African American / psychology; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Aging / psychology; Baltimore; Cognition / physiology; Female; Humans; Interviews as Topic; Male; Middle Aged; Psychometrics
TL;DR:
The results suggest that a pattern of dedifferentiation of cognitive abilities does not exist within this sample of older African Americans and that the 60–69 year age range may be a critical period for cognitive decline in this population.

Are comparisons the answer to understanding behavioral aspects of aging in racial and ethnic groups?
JOURNALS OF GERONTOLOGY SERIES B-PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, 63(5), P301–P308.
author keywords: ethnicity; minorities; racial comparisons; models of group differences; statistical power
MeSH headings : Black or African American / statistics & numerical data; Aged; Aging / ethnology; Cross-Cultural Comparison; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Epidemiologic Factors; Epidemiologic Methods; Epidemiologic Research Design; Female; Health Status Disparities; Humans; Male; Minority Groups / statistics & numerical data; Models, Statistical; Sample Size; United States / epidemiology; White People / statistics & numerical data
TL;DR:
It is proposed that simple comparisons between groups are neither necessary nor sufficient to advance the understanding of ethnic minorities, and the use of multiple methodological designs in the study of issues related to racial and ethnic minorities is encouraged by demonstrating some of the advantages of lesser employed approaches.
