You have been asked to help design an intelligence test for the current cohort of adults over the age of 65. What characteristics of adult intelligence should be taken into account in the design of the test?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should note the difficulty older adults have in making fast responses and
therefore should recommend an untimed test. An emphasis should be placed on
real-life and adaptive problem-solving skills. And the test should be standardized on
older adults.
