Assignment: Seattle Longitudinal Study Article Review
In 1956, Dr. K. Warner Schaie began collecting longitudinal data on intelligence in adulthood in Washington state. Later, Dr. Sherry Willis joined him. Since the study began, they’ve collected data on more than 6,000 people, now three generations worth (sometimes within the same family). This is one of the biggest and most published datasets in the area of cognitive development at present. Other researchers can access the data (the answers to the questions Schaie and Willis have asked people) and do their own studies about what the data mean. Today, there are many published studies using this dataset, and this week you will be reviewing one of those studies in an article critique.
To prepare, first chose an article from this link. (This is a list of articles that have used data from the Schaie & Willis, 2010 Seattle Longitudinal Study). Select one article that will be the basis of your article review. Refer to the “Article Review Template” provided in the Week’s Resources for further instructions and requirements to complete this Assignment.
