Similarities in visual imagery ability in young and old women.
Young (age 25 to 39 years, n = 50) and old (age 65 to 79 years, n = 50) women were administered both subjective and objective measures of imagery ability and imagery control. Little evidence of an age-related deficit in image vividness was observed. It would appear that imaginal ability does not vary with age. Alternatively, self-reports of images may not be accurate representations of images experienced.
