Abstract
Neuropsychological reexamination of older study participants 10 years after initial assessment indicated that significant cognitive decline was not commonplace, even in participants in their 9th decade.

The results indicate that in elderly persons in good health, aging per se does not necessarily produce adverse affects on higher order mental capacities such as language, intellect, perception, and decision making.
