A Multi-Group Path Analysis of Hybrid Executive Function Task Decomposition: Leveraging a Large Naturalistic Dataset to Explore Age Differences in Performance Contributions

In a multi-group path analysis of 19,436 participants spanning 13 to 90 years of age we explored cognitive decomposition of inhibition and shifting performance of a hybrid executive function task. We find that inhibition performance, within and between tasks, was generally more predictive, and this framework alters with age.
