Orienting Task Effects on Text Recall in Adulthood.

Simon, Elliott W.; And Others

Journal of Gerontology, v37 n5 p575-80 Sep 1982

Examined the effects of orienting task-controlled processing on text recall of younger, middle-aged, and older adults. Younger adults recalled more when recall was intentional or when preceded by a deep-orienting task. Middle-aged and older adults recalled more when recall was intentional regardless of depth of orienting task. (Author)
