为了确定从大学生中收集的类别常模是否适用于老年人的研究，研究人员要求年轻(20-39岁)、中年(40-59岁)和老年(60-79岁)三个年龄组的25名男性和25名女性为从Battig和Montague(1969)标准中选择的21个类别中的每个类别产生尽可能多的类别成员。在所有研究的三个年龄组中，当前受试者的反应与巴蒂格和蒙塔古的反应之间的相关性都很高。结论是，对于本文研究的大多数类别，在中老年人实验中选择刺激时，使用巴蒂格和蒙太古标准是合适的。进一步的分析表明，老年人在每个类别中产生的人均回复比年轻人和中年人更少。受试者之间的变异性分析表明，老年组的受试者比年轻受试者更不可能产生独特的、特殊的反应。
In order to determine whether category norms collected from college students are appropriate for research with older adults, 25 men and 25 women in esfch of three age groups, young (20 to 39 years), middle (40 to 59 years) and old (60 to 79 years), were asked to produce as many category members as possible for each of 21 categories chosen from those included in the battig and montague (1969) norms. The correlations between the responses of the present subjects and battig and montague's were high for all three age groups studied. It is concluded that for most of the categories studied here, it is appropriate to use the battig and montague norms when choosing stimuli for experiments with middle-aged and elderly adults. Additional analyses revealed that the old group produced fewer responses per person per category than the young and middle groups. Analyses of between-subject variability indicated that the subjects in the old group were less likely than the younger subjects to produce unique, idiosyncratic responses.
