Learning and Reaction Time Performance in Older Veterans: Relationship to Attitudes and Life Satisfaction.

Milligan, W. L.; And Others

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v13 n2 p151-68 1981

Younger (age 20-35) veterans showed better performance on learning and psychomotor tasks than did older (age 55-70) veterans. Positive attitudes toward aging, and greater life satisfaction were associated with better performance on the behavioral tasks in the older group. Results suggest age-related behavior may be related to psychosocial variables. (Author)
