Imagery ratings for young and elderly adults.
Ratings of imagery value for 100 words were obtained from young and elderly adults. The ratings of elderly adults correlated highly with the ratings of young adults for both the present group and the normative group employed by Paivio, Yuille, and Madigan [4], indicating the generalizability of young adult norms to the population of elderly adults. In addition, the ratings of elderly adults were unrelated to variation in age, educational level, or vocabulary score.
