Abstract

In an initial study, differences in learning and immediate recall were observed for groups of young and aged subjects on several measures. Retest data showed some differential loss for aged subjects after 1 wk. Conclusions regarding long term retention per se were not possible due to the nature of the design. In a second study, additional aged and young groups of subjects were run under delayed recall conditions. The data from these 2 groups were combined with data from the first study, with care taken to match subjects on a number of variables (health, education, intelligence). The results showed age related differences for measures of learning and immediate recall but not for delayed 1 wk retention.
