Abstract

The common cause theory of cognitive aging hypothesizes that age-related declines in cognitive, sensory, and sensorimotor functioning can primarily be attributed to a domain-general neurobiological mechanism. It predicts an increasing association between cognition and sensory acuity with advancing age and was originally proposed as a broad third variable explanation to account for shared variance between age, cognitive, and noncognitive variables.
