The cognitive test battery in BASE contains 14 tests
measuring five intellectual abilities (perceptual
speed, reasoning, memory, knowledge, fluency). At the 5th
measurement point 8 out of the original 14 tests were included in the
assessment.
Knowledge was measured by the following three tests:
a) Spot-a-Word (20 items). On 20 occasions participants
had to find out which one of five presented items selected from a
German vocabulary test (Lehrl, 1977) (one word, four pronounceable
non-words) was the word. The test score corresponds to the number of
correct answers.
b) Vocabulary. Participants were asked to explain 16 words
selected from the Vocabulary subtest of the German WAIS version
(HAWIE; Wechsler, 1982). Responses were coded by two raters on the
following scale: wrong (= 0), partially correct (= 1), or correct (=
2).
c) Practical Knowledge (12 items). The format of this test
follows the Vocabulary subtest of the German WAIS version, but the
items were created by the psychology unit of BASE. Participants had
to answer questions concerning everyday life. Responses were coded by
two raters on the follwing scale: wrong (= 0), partially correct (=
1), or correct (= 2).
For more detailed information about the procedures, see
Lindenberger, Mayr, and Kliegl, (1993) or the "Intelligenz und
Kognition" documentation at the Max Planck Institute for Human
Development.

Speed, Fluency, Memory,

Note:
According to the design, names for Time 1 have the prefix c1, names
for Time 3 have the prefix c3,
names for Time 4 have the prefix c4, names for Time 5 have the prefix
c5, names for Time 6
have the prefix c6, and names for Time 7 have the prefix c7.
