Abstract
Longitudinal studies have steadily grown in popularity across the educational and behavioral sciences, particularly with the increased availability of technological devices that allow the easy collection of repeated measures on multiple dimensions of substantive relevance. This article discusses a procedure that can be used to evaluate population differences in within-person (intraindividual) variability in such longitudinal investigations. The method is based on an application of the latent variable modeling methodology within a two-level modeling framework. The approach is used to obtain point and interval estimates of the differences in within-person variance and in the strength of correlative effects of repeated measures between normal and very mildly demented persons in a longitudinal study of a diagnostic cognitive test assessing verbal episodic memory.
