Age Differences in Adults' Free Recall of Pictorial and Word Stimuli

Keitz, Suzanne M.; Gounard, Beverley Roberts

Educational Gerontology, 1, 3, 237-240, Jul 76

Prior research has shown that adults generally remember pictorial stimuli better than printed words. The present study was designed to determine whether memory for these two visual modes might be differentially affected by age. These results indicate that memory processes in the elderly differ quantitatively and not qualitatively. (Author)
