138 Faculty of Education students, 20 to 56 years old, in two undergraduate programs, worked on four psychometric tests of nonverbal intelligence. Sex and program differences were nonsignificant. The positive interest correlations were significant as were the negative age-test correlations. Steep declines for scores on Spatial Ability and Matrices and gentler decrements for scores on Paper Form Board and Number Series were noted with age. The findings suggest that decreased performance on these tests reflects the influence of age differences between younger and older students in this sample.
138名教育学院的学生，年龄在20至56岁之间，参与了两个本科项目，进行了四项非言语智力心理测量测试。性别和项目差异不显著。积极兴趣相关性显著，消极年龄与测试相关性也显著。随着年龄增长，空间能力和矩阵测试得分急剧下降，而纸型板和数字系列测试得分下降较为平缓。研究结果表明，这些测试成绩的下降反映了该样本中年轻学生和年长学生之间年龄差异的影响。
