Name recall performance across the adult life-span.

摘要: Everyday name-recall tests were administered to 1205 adults ranging in age from 18 90 years. They asked recall sets of four, six, or 14 names individuals who introduced themselves on videotape. Immediate recall, acquisition, and delayed retention examined. The results showed consistent age-related declines name recall. Declines performance more evident rather than four six names. Age deficits remained across several acquisition trials within the set largest for old-old (over 70), although there also significant differences, some analyses, between young middle-aged groups. Changes less apparent during years (40-60 years). Name was related individual differences factors, reaction time paired-associate memory value assessment intervention with stressed.
