Principal-components analysis of psychometric test scores yielded a general factor of cognitive ability in nondemented elderly subjects, where the mean performance level is represented by a factor score of 0. Factor scores from 3 of these subjects with different baseline levels of cognitive ability are shown by age at each annual assessment and show relative stability of performance.
