Changes in Adults' Prose Recall: Aging or Cognitive Demands?
Ratner, Hilary Horn; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n4 p521-25 Jul 1987
Compares older adults' text recall and study strategies with those of two groups of young adults. One of the latter groups was enrolled in classes; the other was not. Findings suggest that memory differences between old and young may result as much from cultural factors as from biological deterioration. (Author/RWB)
