Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Component cognitive processes have played a critical role in the development of experimental aging research and theory in psychology as attested by articles published on this theme. However, in the last five to ten years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of articles attempting to isolate a single factor (or small subset of factors) responsible for age differences in information processing. This view of aging is frequently termed the complexity model of the generalized slowing model, the primary assumption being that age differences in cognition are due simply to a relatively larger performance decrement on the part of older adults (compared to younger adults) as task complexity increases. Because generalized complexity theorists have questioned the utility of using component cognitive processes as theoretical constructs, the editors feel it is time to restate why component cognitive processes are critical to any thorough understanding of age differences in cognition. Thus the present edited volume represents an attempt to demonstrate the utility of the process-specific approach to cognitive aging. Central to this effort are illustrations of how regression analyses may provide evidence for general slowing by maximizing explained variance while at the same time obscuring local sources of variance.The book concentrates on age differences in word and language processing, because these factors relate to reading which is a critical cognitive process used in everyday life. Furthermore, age differences in word and language processing illustrate the importance of taking component cognitive processes into consideration. The breadth of coverage of the book attests to the wide range of cognitive processes involved in word and language processing.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prescription drug advertisements are commonly seen in magazines and on television, and as a result, the public is familiar with them. Many drug ads are targeted toward older adults, who tend to use more medications, because they suffer from more chronic conditions than younger adults. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of drug advertising at persuading older adults to ask physicians for specific medications remains uncertain. Older adults' explicit memory for drug ads is poor, but their implicit memory for drug ads may be better. Therefore, older adults may be implicitly persuaded by drug ads even when they cannot explicitly remember seeing them. The current study measured implicit memory with an incidental ratings exercise and an indirect test of preference; explicit memory was measured with intentional studying and a direct test of recognition. The purposes of the study were to compare implicit and explicit memory for drug ads in older and younger adults, to determine whether age differences in memory are affected by salient information or anxiety, and to demonstrate that a test of implicit memory may be useful in estimating advertising effectiveness. The results showed no age difference for implicit memory for drug ads, but an age difference was found for explicit memory for drug ads. However, contrary to hypotheses, neither salient information nor anxiety had an effect on implicit or explicit memory. The results were consistent with previous research demonstrating implicit memory in the absence of explicit memory. Although older adults had slightly worse explicit memory, both implicit and explicit memory for drug ads was generally good in both groups. The results were also obtained within the everyday context of prescription drug advertising, which extends memory research to an important real-world setting. Ethical considerations for research on aging and advertising are discussed. Drug ads are designed to be persuasive, but ads should be carefully designed to inform consumers, rather than to manipulate them. The implicit memory manipulation succeeded in demonstrating that ads are persuasive, suggesting that a complete assessment of advertising effectiveness should include a test of implicit memory.

Download or read book Memory Change in the Aged written by David F. Hultsch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-13 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do memory abilities decline with aging? Are changes in memory universal or differential? Do they occur similarly or differently for all types of memory and to all aging persons? These are some of the principal questions explored in the Victoria Longitudinal Study and presented in this volume. Although there is a tremendous amount of research comparing the memory performance of younger and older adults, very few studies have followed the same older adults over time. Only through the use of such longitudinal methods can one directly observe changes in memory functioning with aging. This monograph reports longitudinal data following the same individuals over a six-year period. The authors consider a variety of theoretical and methodological issues related to memory and aging.

Download or read book Age Differences in Implicit Interference microform written by Ikier, Simay and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation used response competition paradigms in order to examine age differences in susceptibility to proactive interference in implicit memory tasks (word fragment completion in Experiments 1, 2 and 4; word stem completion in Experiment 3). The results showed that (1) interference exists in implicit memory tasks; (2) interference in implicit memory tasks is more disruptive to older adults than younger adults; (3) interference is largely automatic for younger adults, whereas for older adults, it results from both automatic and controlled sources; (4) younger adults are able to reduce interference by using controlled retrieval. Age differences in priming were small and non-significant when only the targets, and not the interfering items were presented within the context of the experiment, despite the test cues having multiple solutions in the language (Experiment 1). When interfering items preceded the targets at study, older adults were disrupted by the presentation of multiple legitimate responses to the test cue, whereas younger adults were facilitated by it. Differential susceptibility to response competition led to an increase in the magnitude of age differences in priming (Experiment 2). Similarly, interference from prior laboratory tasks was more disruptive to older adults than to younger adults (Experiment 3). Finally, when interfering items preceded the targets at study, and only the target was a legitimate solution to the test cue, both younger and older adults showed interference, but the magnitude of interference was greater for older adults (Experiment 4). This study enabled the division of participants into more automatic and more controlled retrieval strategy groups, using the Speeded Implicit Retrieval Procedure. The results of the strategy analysis showed that younger adults were able to reduce interference by adopting a controlled retrieval strategy, and that age differences in interference resulted from controlled retrieval. Taken together, the results indicate that age differences in susceptibility to interference in ostensibly implicit memory tasks may be due to age differences in efficiency of response selection when multiple responses are available to a test cue, and younger and older adults may differ in how well they can engage strategies when there are alternative or irrelevant responses.

Download or read book Implicit Memory written by Peter Graf and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The immense growth of research on implicit and explicit memory is making it difficult to keep up with new methods and findings, to gauge the implications of new discoveries, and to ferret out new directions in research and theory development. The present volume provides a status report of work on implicit and explicit memory in the three areas that have contributed the bulk of what is known about this domain -- cognitive psychology, lifespan developmental psychology, and neuropsychology. Highlighting developments in methods, critical findings, and theoretical positions, this volume outlines promising new research directions. By so doing, it provides the reader with a multi-disciplinary perspective on implicit and explicit memory, and thereby enables a cross- fertilization of ideas and research. The chapters that make up this volume were written by experts on the topic of implicit and explicit memory. These contributors were asked to write for a broad audience -- for their colleagues from allied disciplines, for new researchers, for advanced undergraduate and graduate students -- to help them gain a comprehensive overview of the mushrooming research on this topic, grasp the most fundamental empirical and theoretical issues, and focus on new research directions.
