A sample of 65 healthy males (31 to 75 years old) memorized lists of six letters (familiar or unfamiliar organization). Age-related differences in the unfamiliar condition could not be wholly accounted for by psychomotor factors. The distributions of response latencies in the oldest groups had greater variance and skew. (Author)

Differences appear to reflect differences in intensity of response rather than marked differences in value…

It is clear that educational aspiration and parental influence have a significant bearing on the success of opportunity-program students.

Couples who were married 50 or more years were interviewed about what they felt were the most important factors in happy marriage.

A multiple discriminant analysis derived two factors that differentiated among levels of loneliness. (Author)
