title: [Psychometric approach to aging. Brief review].
abstract: The longitudinal and more focused studies of the mental functioning show that the aging effects are varying with individuals and functions. The precise evaluation of aging is uneasy because a lot of variables occurs simultaneously. The review of literature points out the influence of some factors (like initial intellectual level), but it remains many shaded areas in the field.
