AB The study of age-related cognitive changes over the lastyears reveals a considerable variability in available results.The methodological heterogeneity observed in the agingfield can significantly contribute to this observed variability,which creates a confusing scenario for beginners in this topic. The main aim of the present article is to extract a cleardepiction of the current state of knowledge about age-related cognitive changes regardless of the methodologicalapproach followed by researchers. In this sense, a specificand differential pattern of impairment seems to be presentin most cognitive domains, which highlights the existenceof a great intra-domain variability in terms of impairment.We conclude it seems to be enough evidence about the influence of certain modulating factors such as benefit fromschooling and gender on cognitive aging, and not takingthese factors into account when studying age-related cognitive changes contributes to the scarce agreement found inavailable results.
