Age and Familiarity in Memory Scanning
Thomas, John C.; And Others
Journal of Gerontology, 33, 4, 528-32, Jul 78
A sample of 65 healthy males (31 to 75 years old) memorized lists of six letters (familiar or unfamiliar organization). Age-related differences in the unfamiliar condition could not be wholly accounted for by psychomotor factors. The distributions of response latencies in the oldest groups had greater variance and skew. (Author)
