Retrieval from Semantic Memory as a Function of Age

Eysenck, Michael W.

Journal of Gerontology, 30, 2, 174-179, Mar 75

Subjects (n=24), 12 of whom were in the age range of 18-30 years and 12 of whom were between 55-65 years, performed two semantic memory tasks. Results suggested that subjects in the older group may have retrieved information faster than the young subjects, but that they required longer to decide upon a response. (Author)
