title: Age differences in performance at concentration: a pilot study.
abstract: 24 subjects ranging in age from 5 to 65 years individually played Concentration in pictorial and verbal formats. Consistent with age-related declines in both general and visual processing, performance was poorest for the elderly subjects on both tasks; however, there was no evidence of children's precocity.
