Stability of Imagery Scores

Abstract

Estimates of the stability of scores on imagery were given by 113 young adults, whose mean age was 16.6 yr., 129 middle adults, whose mean age was 29.9 yr., and 49 older adults, whose mean age was 53.3 yr. Significant correlations were obtained between scores given to 210 words by age and sex of groups, except for older women. Pearson correlations were calculated over words and not over subjects. The correlations were between scores of young people and adults .92, between young and old people .29, and between adults and old people .33. Men's and women's scores correlated .76.
