Relations Between Information Processing and Intelligence in Elderly Adults.

Cerella, John; And Others

Intelligence, v10 n1 p75-91 Jan-Mar 1986

Measures of verbal intelligence and abstract reasoning were taken on a group of 31 college-aged and 32 elderly adults, together with mental-processing rates associated with choice reaction time, primary memory scanning, and lexical decoding. Group means showed that verbal IQ and lexical decoding were intact in the elderly subjects. (Author/LMO)
