Intelligence et vieillissement au W AIS-R, une analyse transversale de l'échantillon d'étalonnage français avec contrôle du niveau scolaire
Open accessAbstract
Summary : Intelligence and aging, a cross-sectional analysis of the French standardisation sample of the WAIS-R with educational level controlled. The standardisation sample of the French adaptation of the WAIS-R is an important source of reliable information about the aging of cognitive aptitudes. This sample is composed of ten age groups of 100 subjects representative of the French population. All these subjects have been tested in a strictly controlled situation. We analysed the standard scores of the subjects from 25 to 79 years (N = 700) wiih control of the influence of the level of education on the difference between age groups. For that purpose, we applied two methods : a multiple regression analysis and the adjustment of the standard scores inside each age group with respect to the level of education. From the results of those analysis we have to reject the Kaufman and al. (1989) hypothesis. Following these authors the aging of intellectual performances on the WAIS-R could be explained in terms of fluid intelligence and crystallised intelligence. It is more likely to explain the regression of the results by the covariation of different factors, especially the spatial dimension of the task and the importance of the working memory in this particular task. Key-words : intelligence, aging, WAIS-R.

The weight of declarative knowledge is substantially greater in VCI subtests reflecting Gc than in all other subtests that place little emphasis on declarative knowledge, as illustrated by their lesser decline with age and higher correlation with education and socio-economic levels.
“Still, the weight of declarative knowledge is substantially greater in VCI subtests reflecting Gc, as illustrated by their lesser decline with age (Baxendale, 2011, Grégoire, 1993;Kaufman et al., 1989, Ryan et al., 2000) and their higher correlation with education and socio-economic levels (Dori & Chelune, 2004;Heaton et al., 2003;Holdnack et al., 2013), than all other subtests that place little”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
