Age Changes in the Factor Structure of Intellectual Abilities in Adulthood and Old Age.

Cunningham, Walter R.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v40 n2 p271-90 Sum 1980

Army alpha longitudinal data on the same 96 males tested in 1919, 1950, and 1960 were analyzed in addition to data on 123 undergraduates tested in 1972-4. Young adults in 1919 and 1970 were similar. Results suggest that traditional factor analysis taxonomies for young adults misrepresent elderly persons. (Author/CP)
