从95名老年人（52至90岁）和31名年轻人（23至49岁）中，对56个单字刺激和30个概念相关词的三元组进行了言语自由联想反应。对于单个单词，分布的聚合和组合协会是相似的老年人和年轻人的样本，多元回归分析表明，虽然词汇分数是一个很好的预测类型的反应，年龄不是。老年人和年轻人对单个单词的具体反应是相似的;有一些证据表明，与衰老相关的共性略有减少。对于黑社会刺激，反映在一个自然的类别或共享的特性（感官）功能的共享成员的反应水平是相似的年轻人和老年人;再次词汇分数一贯预测这样的反应，但年龄没有。
Verbal free association responses were elicited to 56 single-word stimuli and 30 triads of conceptually related words from 95 older adults (52 to 90 years) and 31 younger adults (23 to 49). For single words, the distribution of paradigmatic and syntagmatic associations was similar for the older and younger samples; multiple regression analysis indicated that, although vocabulary scores were a good predictor of type of response, age was not. Specific responses to single words were similar for older and younger adults; there was some evidence of a slight reduction in commonality of associations with aging. For triad stimuli, the levels of responses reflecting shared membership in a natural category or a shared characteristic (sensory) feature were similar for younger and older adults; again vocabulary scores consistently predicted such responses, but age did not.
