A Critical Outlook on Intelligence Measurement in Old Age

Abstract

Important changes occur in the human being defined as biopsychosocial in its most general definition during the aging process. In parallel with biopsychosocial change, one of the subjects that has undergone a significant change in the old age is the subject of intelligence. However, the question of "what is intelligence" is still sought and there is no consensus on the definition of this concept by scientists. There is also debate about what intelligence tests actually measure. In addition to the concept of intelligence in general, when this concept is used together with old age, the situation becomes more complicated. However, it can be said that negative stereotypes against the elderly also have negative effects on the subject of intelligence in old age. The focus of this article is on how objectively measured the intelligence scores obtained from the elderly in numerical terms by the existing tests and methods and how reliable they are to the scores obtained. It should be noted that no matter how quantitative data are obtained, these data should not be evaluated independently of the context.
