“…Ruger and Stoessiger (1927) analyzed Galton’s data and presented growth curves regarding each of a number of attributes for over 7,000 male subjects. Elderton and Moul (1928) performed similar analyses for over 1,800 female subjects. Ruger (1933) presented age-corrected intercorrelations among eight of Galton’s measures.…”

“…Early psychology also showed a preference for the investigation of psychomotor skills (Cattell, Donders, and others). Here, psychological gerontology, through the psychometric studies initiated by Galton (see Elderton et al, 1928;Ruger & Stoessiger, 1927), has produced the oldest descriptive records of performance differences covering the full life-span. Today, the study of psychomotor performance represents one of the few areas in which, especially through the work of Welford (1951Welford ( , 1958Welford ( , 1960 and Birren (1964), psychological gerontology exacted a lasting influence on the general study of psychomotor processes.…”

This chapter consists of three parts. First, a quantitative analysis of the history of psychological gerontology will be given based upon the reconstructed flow of written information in reference networks. Second, this analysis will be supplemented by more traditional, idiographic interpretations, focusing especially on those "underdeveloped" areas not represented in the networks, and deducing conclusions from comparisons with the general area of developmental psychology. Third, in view of the enormous amount of wasted research efforts (noted in the first part) and the concurrent lack of investigations of significant issues (noted in the second part), questions need to be raised concerning our concepts of research and theory, communication and education, and, more generally, our conception of man, society, and their development. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL GERONTOLOGYWith the exception of recent reports by Birren (1961) and Munnichs (1966) on psychological gerontology and those by Charles Klaus F. Riegel received his PhD in psychology at the University of Hamburg, West Germany, 1957. Since 1959, he has been a Professor of Psychology a t the University of Michigan. His major interest and orientation are in cognitive changes during old age. Presently, the author is working on two books, one dealing with the acquisition of meaning and the other, with developmental and historical structuralism.
