In the present paper the results of an experimental arrangement of tests are represented allowing preliminary statements on the age dependency of certain aspects of the social ability to learn within the framework of comprehensive investigations to determine the biological age of man. The relevance to employ precisely these methods results from the necessity to make measurable in particular also those spheres of human personality which refusing pure deficit models of old age are an expression of the processes of restructuring and maturing which represent the aging of man. The conditions for the use of this method and the limited possibilities of interpretation of the results in juvenile and elderly citizens are pointed out. They allow the conclusion that at an older age certain aspects of the social ability to learn can be more strongly pronounced than in young people. From the methodical point of view this experimental arrangement seems particularly suited to complete efficiently clinical-functional and psychophysiological measuring methods for the complex determination of biological age.
在本论文中，展示了一组试验的结果，这些试验允许在全面调查框架内对社会学习能力某些方面的年龄依赖性进行初步陈述，以确定人的生物年龄。精确采用这些方法的相关性源于有必要特别测量人类个性的那些领域，这些领域拒绝纯粹的老年缺陷模型，而是代表人类衰老的重组和成熟过程的一种表达。指出了使用该方法的条件以及在青少年和老年公民中对结果进行解释的有限可能性。由此可以得出结论，在老年时，社会学习能力的某些方面可能比年轻人表现得更为明显。从方法学角度来看，这种试验安排似乎特别适合有效地补充临床功能和心理生理测量方法，用于复杂地确定生物年龄。
