The Effects of Presentation Modality, Task Demand, and Content Structure on Age-Related Memory Differences for Prose.

Corgiat, Mark D.; And Others

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v29 n1 p53-65 1989

Evaluated contributions of age, presentation modality, task demand, and content structure to prose recall variation among adults. Tested 60 young and 60 older adults for recall of ideas in 641-word prose passage. Found recall for total number of idea units was significantly lower for older participants and for auditory presentation across both age groups. (Author/CM)
