Concerned with the relationship between age and the Category Test, which is alleged to measure abstract reasoning deficits among brain-damaged patients. Scores on the Category Test from the Halstead-Reitan Battery were used. Sixty-two scores from brain-damaged patients and 417 from alcoholics were compared in terms of the age of the patients. It was found that age was an important variable for the alcoholic, as opposed to those not so diagnosed. These results put into question the findings of a previous study, which showed that years of drinking is the distinguishing variable when Category Test is considered. Discussion focuses upon speculation that chronic alcoholism is tied to age as a progressive illness.
关注年龄与类别测验之间的关系，该测验据称用于测量脑损伤患者的抽象推理缺陷。使用了霍尔斯特德 - 雷坦成套测验中的类别测验得分。根据患者年龄，比较了62名脑损伤患者的得分和417名酗酒者的得分。结果发现，与未被如此诊断的人相比，年龄对酗酒者来说是一个重要变量。这些结果对先前一项研究的结果提出了质疑，该研究表明，在考虑类别测验时，饮酒年限是区分变量。讨论集中在一种推测上，即慢性酒精中毒作为一种进行性疾病与年龄有关。
