这项研究探讨了作为一个年轻的成年人的能力，从事生活方式，个性，年龄和健康的连续性和变化的智力能力，从早期到成年后期的影响。 研究人员对326名加拿大退伍军人进行了一系列测试，包括语言和非语言智力测试。 档案数据提供了第二次世界大战入伍分数在同一智力测试的这一样本。 结果表明，在40年的智力分数相对稳定，增加词汇和算术，语言类比和非语言技能下降。 年轻人的智力是老年人表现的最重要的决定因素。 语言智力的预测因素与智力维护的参与模型一致，但也表明了内外向和年龄的重要性。 老年人的非语言智力可以通过年轻人的非语言得分、年龄、健康状况和内外向来预测。
This study examined the effects of abilities as a young adult, an engaged lifestyle, personality, age, and health on continuity and change in intellectual abilities from early to late adulthood. A battery of measures, including a verbal and nonverbal intelligence tests, was given to 326 Canadian army veterans. Archival data provided World War Two enlistment scores on the same intelligence test for this sample. Results indicated relative stability of intellectual scores across 40 years, with increases in vocabulary and decreases in arithmetic, verbal analogies, and nonverbal skills. Young adult intelligence was the most important determinant of older adult performance. Predictors for verbal intelligence were consistent with an engagement model of intellectual maintenance but also indicated the importance of introversion-extraversion and age. Nonverbal intelligence in late life was predicted by young adult nonverbal scores, age, health, and introversion-extraversion.
