Peer reviewedThomas, John C.; And Others – Journal of Gerontology, 1978
A sample of 65 healthy males (31 to 75 years old) memorized lists of six letters (familiar or unfamiliar organization). Age-related differences in the unfamiliar condition could not be wholly accounted for by psychomotor factors. The distributions of response latencies in the oldest groups had greater variance and skew. (Author)

Peer reviewedBorges, Marilyn; Dutton, Linda J. – Gerontology, 1976
Respondents (N=532) over a wide age range rated their own lives and an "average person's life" at each of eight age intervals. Ratings varied significantly by age of target and of respondent and were increasingly differentiated as a function of both the age level being evaluated and the respondent's age. (Author)

Peer reviewedUkaegbu, Alfred O. – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1977
This paper examines fertility patterns of women in two different types of marital unions (monogamous and polygynous) in 16 sample villages of eastern Nigeria. Results show polygyny tends to reduce fertility through the intermediary of a comparatively wider age differential between the polygynists and their wives. (Author)
