对54名平均年龄为64岁的老年人进行了为期20年的跟踪调查，结果显示，在认知能力测试中，最初能力较强的人（根据词汇得分估计）比最初能力较差的人下降得更少。当根据教育水平而不是最初的能力进行分类时，教育程度较高的人下降幅度较小。据推测，在整个生命周期中持续的智力活动可以防止智力衰退。
A 20-year follow-up of 54 octogenarians, tested originally at a mean age of 64 years, revealed that the initially more able (estimated by vocabulary score) declined less on tests in a cognitive battery than did the initially less able. When classification was based on level of education rather than initial ability, the better educated showed the lesser decline. It is postulated that continuedintellectual activity throughout the life span may protect against intellectual decline.
