Developing Context and Background Underlying Cognitive Intervention/Training Studies in Older Populations
Underlying the attempt to change behavior or improve performance by virtue of intervention or training is the notion that change is possible and that plasticity, life-course malleability, and compensation are well-recognized concepts of life-span development. The cognition and aging literature reveals that there are a growing number of context and background variables against which the effectiveness of intervention/training can be judged beyond t…
Long-term Effects of Cognitive Training on Everyday Functional Outcomes in Older Adults
CONTEXT: Cognitive training has been shown to improve cognitive abilities in older adults but the effects of cognitive training on everyday function have not been demonstrated. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of cognitive training on daily function and durability of training on cognitive abilities. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Five-year follow-up of a randomized controlled single-blind trial with 4 treatment groups. A volunteer sample o…
Age, affect, and memory for pictorial story sequences
Sixteen young (19·1 mean years), 16 middle‐aged (39·4 mean years), and 16 older women (71·1 mean years) were presented with simple stories in an eight‐frame pictorial format. The stories contained no verbal information and were designed to have emotional or neutral affective content. Immediate and delayed (72 hours later) recall were measured in terms of response to specific questions (structured recall) and total number of written propositions (…
Arousal and Barpressing Versus Freeloading in Fischer 344 Rats
Twenty-four Fischer 344 rats were assigned at birth to one of three treatment conditions: Handled, Control, and Enriched Environment. A comparison of barpress behavior in the presence of free food was made between the three groups. It was found that the handled animals barpressed for a significantly greater percentage of their reinforcement supply (p < .05) than did the control and enriched animals. Since handling results in the modification of a…
