人类智力发展的衡量标准表明，在生命早期展示的行为技能可以预测一个人后来的认知表现。这一点得到了纵向研究的支持，这些研究揭示了儿童时期令人信服的受试者内部的相关性。如果这一观点适用于人的一生，那么表现的相关性应该会一直持续到成年。在这里，我们通过评估受试者内听觉学习和知觉的测量来解决青少年和成年沙土鼠的这种预测。动物在少年时期接受幅度调制(AM)或调频(FM)检测任务的训练和测试。然后，将从青少年那里获得的学习和感知指标与成年后每个受试者在相同任务或未受过训练的任务上进行测试时获得的类似指标进行比较。对于青少年和成年人接受AM检测任务训练和测试的动物，青少年和成年人的学习指标或知觉敏感性之间没有相关性。对于幼年时接受过FM检测训练和测试的动物，我们观察到它们的成年表现与其显著的关系。在FM检测方面表现最好的青少年在AM检测方面表现最差，而在成年后进行测试时，FM检测表现最好。因此，在发育和成年期间获得的感觉和认知测量的跨年龄相关性，在很大程度上取决于特定类型的发展经验和结果测量。
Measures of human mental development suggest that behavioral skills displayed during early life can predict an individual’s subsequent cognitive performance. Support for this draws from longitudinal studies that reveal compelling within-subject correlations during childhood. If this idea applies across the life span, then correlations in performance should persist into adulthood. Here, we address this prediction in juvenile and adult gerbils by evaluating within-subject measures of auditory learning and perception. Animals were trained and tested as juveniles on either an amplitude modulation (AM) or a frequency modulation (FM) detection task. Measures of learning and perception obtained from juveniles were then compared to similar measures obtained when each subject was tested in adulthood on either the same task or the untrained task. For animals trained and tested on the AM detection task as juveniles and adults, there was no correlation between juvenile and adult learning metrics, or perceptual sensitivity. For animals trained and tested on FM detection as juveniles, we observed a significant relationship to their adult performance. Juveniles that performed the best on FM detection were the poorest at AM detection, and the best at FM detection, when tested as adults. Thus, across-age correlations for sensory and cognitive measures, obtained during development and in adulthood, depend heavily on the specific type of developmental experience and the outcome measure.
