Utility of Digit Recall Tasks for Assessing Memory in the Aged.

And Others; Crook, Thomas

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v48 n2 p228-33 Apr 1980

Performance on a 10-digit task distinguished aged impaired subjects from normals. When subjects were required to dial the series on a telephone apparatus rather than to report it verbally, differences were maximized. Under this condition, aged unimpaired subjects performed at a significantly lower level than young normals. (Author/BEF)
