Part-Set Cueing Effects in Younger and Older Adults. Psychology and Aging, 19, 134-144.
(last updated on 2004/09/14)
Abstract: In three experiments, we examined part-set
cuing effects in
younger and older adults. Participants
listened to lists of
category exemplars, and later recalled
them. Across
conditions, recall was uncued, or cued with
a subset of
studied items. In Experiment 1, younger
and
older adults
were cued with some of the category names,
and they
remembered fewer never-cued categories as
compared to a free
recall condition. In Experiment 2, a
similar effect was
observed when the cues were category
exemplars (as opposed
to category names). There was also an age
difference: by
some measures, a small number of cues
impaired older adults
more than younger adults. In Experiment 3,
we replicated
this result and also found that older
adults
were
disproportionately slow in the presence of
cues. In all
experiments, older adults showed robust
part-
set cuing
effects and in some cases, they were
disproportionately
impaired by the cues.
