Corsi’s block-tapping task and WAIS-R were given to two Italian samples of 200 normal elderlies (aged 65-74 and 75 on). Corsi’s reliabilities and standardization data are showed. Additionally, Corsi’s location in the factor space of cognitive abilities represented by the WAIS-R eleven subtests is presented. Corsi’s test seems to be a reliable instrument in Italian elderlies. It seems also to be a measure of general intelligence in 65-74 elderlies and a measure of the Freedom from Distractibility factor in subjects 75 years on. The study concludes with a discussion of the meaning and implications of the findings and suggestions for future reasearch.

Abstract
Corsi’s block-tapping task and WAIS-R were given to two Italian samples of 200 normal elderlies (aged 65-74 and 75 on). Corsi’s reliabilities and standardization data are showed. Additionally, Corsi’s location in the factor space of cognitive abilities represented by the WAIS-R eleven subtests is presented. Corsi’s test seems to be a reliable instrument in Italian elderlies. It seems also to be a measure of general intelligence in 65-74 elderlies and a measure of the Freedom from Distractibility factor in subjects 75 years on. The study concludes with a discussion of the meaning and implications of the findings and suggestions for future reasearch.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
