Cognitive skill learning: age-related differences in strategy shifts and speed of component operations.
Younger and older adults solved novel arithmetic problems and reported the strategies used for obtaining solutions. Age deficits were demonstrated in the latencies for computing and retrieving solutions and in the shift from computation to retrieval. Rates of improvement within age groups were parallel for computations and retrievals, suggesting a single, age-attenuated mechanism that affects p...
متن کاملAre item-level strategy shifts abrupt and collective? Age differences in cognitive skill acquisition.
Item-level analysis allows for the examination of qualitative age and individual differences in skill acquisition, which are obscured when aggregating data across items. In the present study, item-level strategy shifts were generally gradual and variable, rather than abrupt and collective. Strategy shift reversions were frequent, and the total transition space was extensive, for both younger an...
متن کاملThe temporal dynamics of strategy execution in cognitive skill learning
The transition from algorithmic to memory-based performance is a core component of cognitive skill learning. There has been debate about the temporal dynamics of strategy execution, with some models assuming a race (i.e., independent, capacity unconstrained parallel processing) between algorithm and retrieval, and others assuming a choice mechanism. The authors investigated this issue using a n...
متن کاملCognitive skill learning and aging: a component process analysis.
The ability to acquire a cognitive and motor skill was investigated in 20 older and 20 younger participants using repeated testing on the Tower of Toronto (TT) puzzle, a variant of the Tower of Hanoi. Explicit memory, perceptual priming, and sustained attention were also assessed. Older subjects exhibited a defective cognitive skill performance despite the fact that cognitive skill learning suf...
متن کاملthe relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext
this study investigates the relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext. technically, field dependency is prevailing dominance of field on perception of parts, while global comprehension is skim-like reading to grasp the general content. in this research project, 60 senior and junior students of arak university majoring in english literature...
