Description
Abstract: Individual differences in cognitive abilities are almost universally conceptualized as traits – Stable, relatively unchanging properties of individuals. However, this perspective ignores cognitive fluctuations – Short term changes in cognitive performance within persons. I will argue this is an overlooked yet crucial aspect of cognitive performance, with distinct neural and psychological mechanisms. In this talk I will demonstrate how Dynamic SEM can be used to quantify and tease apart distinct components of cognitive variability.
