Cognitive, perceptual, and psychomotor abilities were examined across the working life span for different racial groups, taking into consideration sex, job experience, education, and occupational type. Data included scores on all subtests of the General Aptitude Test Battery for White, Black, and Hispanic employees. Age and sex generally accounted for a relatively small percentage of the variance in ability test scores when experience, education, and occupational type were controlled. Race accounted for a substantial amount of variance in test performance, even after controlling for education, experience, occupational type, and age. Findings are discussed in terms of the potential for specific experiences and continuing education to affect the maintenance of abilities at later points in the life span for all racial groups.
针对不同种族群体，在整个工作生涯中考察了认知、感知和心理运动能力，同时考虑了性别、工作经验、教育程度和职业类型。数据包括白人、黑人和西班牙裔员工在一般能力倾向成套测验所有子测验上的得分。在控制了经验、教育程度和职业类型后，年龄和性别在能力测验分数的方差中所占比例相对较小。即使在控制了教育程度、经验、职业类型和年龄之后，种族在测验成绩的方差中仍占相当大的比例。本文将根据特定经历和继续教育对所有种族群体在生命后期能力维持的潜在影响来讨论研究结果。
