词汇分数在总共210篇文章中进行了检查，其中包含324个独立的年轻人和老年人配对，来自1986-2001年的心理学和老龄化问题。有利于老年人的平均效应量为0.80 SD。生产测试产生的影响（0.68 SD）比多项选择测试。(0.93 SD）。年龄和教育被认为是部分独立的决定因素的性能在生产测试中，年龄的影响消失在多项选择题测试，尽快考虑到教育。此外，韦氏成人智力量表修订词汇分测验（D。Wechsler，198 1）也被发现对弗林效应敏感（J. R。Flynn，1987;即，随着出生年份的增加而增加测试分数）。结果质疑的方法，使用年龄组平等的词汇分数作为检查样本的等效性。
Vocabulary scores were examined in a total of 210 articles, containing 324 independent pairings of younger and older adults, from the 1986-2001 issues of Psychology and Aging. The average effect size, favoring the old, was 0.80 SD. Production tests yielded smaller effects (0.68 SD) than multiple-choice tests. (0.93 SD). Both age and education were found to be partially independent determinants of performance in production tests; age effects disappeared in multiple-choice tests as soon as education was taken into account. In addition, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised Vocabulary subtest (D. Wechsler, 198 1) was also found to be sensitive to the Flynn effect (J. R. Flynn, 1987; i.e., increasing test scores with advancing birth year). The results question the approach of using age-group equality in vocabulary scores as a check on sample equivalence.
