Age Differences in Context-Cue Forgetting
Episodic or context dependent memory is often studied as a function of the context cues in immediate retrieval of target information. Little research has been done on how the relationship of context cues to target retrieval changes over time, and none with older adult subjects. The current research investigated how the influence of context on accuracy of memory changes over time, and age-related differences in those influences. Using immediate, 2…
Redundancy Gain and Coactivation in Bimodal Detection
Previous investigations of adult age differences in the redundant signals effect suggest that both older and younger adults benefit from the presentation of redundant information. However, age deficits in divided attention may cause older adults to process redundant information in a different manner. In the present experiment, we tested between two competing explanations for the redundant signals effect: separate activation and coactivation. To i…
Diagnosing Fictional Diseases
This experiment had two purposes: investigation of the effect of variability in the content used during training on concept learning, retention, and transfer and the extent to which this training manipulation interacts with age Participants were 27 older adults (M = 68.2 yr., SD = 7.4) and 54 younger adults (M = 20.6 yr., SD = 4.0) who were asked to learn an imaginary disease by reviewing the symptoms of fictional patients. Participants were assi…
Effects of Prenatal Crowding on Behavior of Rodent Mothers and Offspring
Pregnant female rats lived in groups of 1, 2, 4, or 8 during the gestational period. Using a systematic analysis, maternal behaviors were observed from Days 2 through 16 postpartum. Both the crowded mothers and their offspring were later tested in a visual exploratory apparatus, and the offspring were also tested in social and open-field situations. The mothers were rebred shortly after termination of testing. The results indicated that the prena…
Effects of Preference and Dominance on Young Children's Optional Shift Performance
The relative influence of preference and dominance (cue similarity) on mediated learning and transfer in kindergarten children was investigated in an optional intradimensional-extradimensional shift paradigm. Children were initially trained with a relevant dimension which was preferred-dominant, preferred-nondominant, nonpreferred-dominant, or nonpreferred-nondominant. In stationarity analyses, all groups appeared to learn the initial problem in …
Enhancement of conjunctive concept attainment in older adults
Modification of concept identification performance in older adults
A sequential training procedure combining operant and cumulative learning hierarchy principles was found effective in reducing the decrement in concept identification performance typically observed in older adults. Subjects aged 63 to 83 years were given a pretest and posttest, each involving a three-category unidimensional concept identification problem. The training and reinforced training subjects were given three training sessions between pre…
