The factor structure of intelligence was examined, as assessed on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Revised, in two groups of Italian normal elderly participants ages 65 to 100 years (ns = 267 and 256). Analysis provided further support for the de-differentiation hypothesis in the Italian population: cognitive abilities differentiate from adolescence to adulthood and then the process is reversed in later adulthood.

Abstract
The factor structure of intelligence was examined, as assessed on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Revised, in two groups of Italian normal elderly participants ages 65 to 100 years (ns = 267 and 256). Analysis provided further support for the de-differentiation hypothesis in the Italian population: cognitive abilities differentiate from adolescence to adulthood and then the process is reversed in later adulthood.File in questo prodotto:
