The ups and downs matter: Magnitudes of fluctuations in executive functions predict daily functioning in older adults

Both mean levels and fluctuations in EF performance across days uniquely contributed to the prediction of daily functioning, demonstrating incremental validity of each variable. Self-report of EF (both fluctuations and mean levels) did not incrementally improve prediction beyond covariates.

Abstract

Both mean levels and fluctuations in EF performance across days uniquely contributed to the prediction of daily functioning, demonstrating incremental validity of each variable. Self-report of EF (both fluctuations and mean levels) did not incrementally improve prediction beyond covariates.
