Abstract
As part of a large scale normative study involving a number of cognitive tasks, 233 subjects, all noncollege students ranging in age from 20 to 79 years, performed two frequency judgment tasks. A modest, but statistically significant, age-related deficit was found, with the decrement in proficiency being largest from middle to late adulthood.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
