| Annotation | Contributions of self-reported health to adult age differences in perceptual speed and memory were assessed for 301 adults ages 20-90. Participants were asked four health status questions, given three perceptual speed tests, two working memory tests, and two memory tests. Self-reported health was found to predict speed better than it predicted memory. Covariance structural equation modelling was used to assess the relations among age, self-reported health, perceptual speed, working memory, and memory. The results support the hypothesis that any effects of self-reported health on age differences in memory are mediated by perceptual speed. |
