Paired-Associate Learning in Institutionalized and Noninstitutionalized Old People: An Analysis of Interference and Context Effects.

Winocur, Gordon; Moscovitch, Morris

Journal of Gerontology, v38 n4 p455-64 Jul 1983

Compared the performance of institutionalized and noninstitutionalized older adults in five negative transfer studies. Results showed that, in general, the performance of institutionalized old people resembled that of brain-damaged amnesic patients tested under similar conditions; old people living at home generally behaved more like normal, young people.
