abstract = {Mean pupil size during fixation has been suggested to
reflect interindividual differences in working memory and
fluid intelligence. However, due to small samples with
limited age range (17-35 years) and suboptimal light
conditions in previous studies, these associations are still
controversial and it is unclear whether they are observed at
older ages. Therefore, we assessed whether interindividual
differences in cognitive performance are reflected in pupil
diameter during fixation and whether these associations are
age-dependent. We analyzed pupillometry and cognition data
of 4560 individuals aged 30-95 years of the community-based
Rhineland Study. Pupillometry data were extracted from a
one-minute fixation task. The cognitive test battery
included tests of oculomotor control, working memory,
episodic verbal memory, processing speed, executive
function, and crystallized intelligence. For data analysis,
we used multivariable regression models. Working memory and
global cognition were not associated with pupil diameter
during fixation. Better processing speed performance was
associated with larger pupil diameter during fixation.
Associations between cognition and pupil diameter during
fixation hardly varied with age, but pupil diameter during
fixation declined linearly with age (adjusted decline: 0.33
mm per 10 years of age). There were no significant sex
differences in pupil size. We conclude that interindividual
differences in mean pupil diameter during fixation may
partly reflect interindividual differences in the speed of
processing and response generation. We could not confirm
that interindividual differences in working memory and fluid
intelligence are reflected in pupil size during fixation;
however, our sample differed in age range from previous
studies.},
