Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The researches examined age-related differences in associative memory using word pairs (Experiment 1) and combined features of location-object (Experiment 2) as stimuli. Cued recall and recognition memory performances revealed age differences in Experiment 1. Recognition memory performance marginally indicated age differences in location-object combined features in Experiment 2. The third experiment examined the effect of using of associative strategy on memory of word pairs. Memory performances of cued recall and recognition resulted in a significant decrease in the associative deficit in the condition of instruction to use associative strategy.
