Document Summary
Stability or change: aging and intelligence, phase i: cross-sectional evidence for intellectual decline a) In cross-sectional studies, researchers test and compare people of different ages. Results show that older adults present fewer correct answers on intelligence tests compared to younger adults: phase ii: longitudinal evidence for intellectual stability, researchers re-tested the same group of people from colleges in the 1920s. What they found was that intelligence remained stable. (1) when older cross-sectional studies compared 70-year-olds and 30-year-olds, they compared people not only of two different ages but of two different eras. It is of several distinct abilities: answers to the age-and-intelligence questions depend on what. Accumulated knowledge as one assesses and how one assesses it. (1) crystallized intelligence: (2) fluid intelligence: reflected in vocab and analogies tests abstractly when solving difficult logic problems. Consistent scores over time increase with age: high-scoring 11 year olds were more likely to be living independently as.
