Adult age differences in knowledge of retrieval processes.
We assessed knowledge of retrieval processes in young (25-35 years) and old adults (70-85 years). Both feeling-of-knowing judgments and retrieval monitoring were examined with a set of questions about recent news events. For answers that participants initially failed to recall, they rated their feeling-of-knowing as well as made predictions regarding the likelihood of recalling the answer with ...
متن کاملA diffusion model analysis of adult age differences in episodic and semantic long-term memory retrieval.
Two experiments investigated adult age differences in episodic and semantic long-term memory tasks, as a test of the hypothesis of specific age-related decline in context memory. Older adults were slower and exhibited lower episodic accuracy than younger adults. Fits of the diffusion model (R. Ratcliff, 1978) revealed age-related increases in non-decisional reaction time for both episodic and s...
متن کاملAdult age differences in task switching.
Age differences in 2 components of task-set switching speed were investigated in 118 adults aged 20 to 80 years using task-set homogeneous (e.g., AAAA ...) and task-set heterogeneous (e.g., AABBAABB ... ) blocks. General switch costs were defined as latency differences between heterogeneous and homogeneous blocks. whereas specific switch costs were defined as differences between switch and nons...
متن کاملDecomposing Adult Age Differences in Working Memory
Two studies, involving a total of 460 adults between 18 and 87 years of age, were conducted to determine which of several hypothesized processing components was most responsible for age-related declines in working memory functioning. Significant negative correlations between age and measures of working memory (i.e., from -.39 to -.52) were found in both studies, and these relations were substan...
متن کاملOn Adult Age Differences in Learning
Two studies were conducted with adults from a wide range of ages to investigate the mechanisms by which a slower processing speed contributes to adult age differences in short-term learning. Although statistical control of measures of perceptual speed substantially reduced the agerelated variance in measures of associative leaming and of maze leaming, there was little evidence that speed exerte...
