Adult age differences in the temporal characteristics of category free recall
Article Abstract:
Two experiments were done to determine the age differences involved in fast within- and between-category interresponse time (IRT) in a categorized free-recall task. The temporal output patterns of younger and older individuals were compared by utilizing a total list recall. Results revealed that older individuals manifested a steeper rate of increase in between-category IRTs during the process of recall from categories. There was a distinct age dissociation in the rate of growth difference between the within-category IRT against between-category IRTs.

Age deficits in the control of prepotent responses: Evidence for an inhibitory decline
Article Abstract:
The inhibitory difficulty of antisaccade performance was varied by varying the use of a cue to signal the direction of the correct eye movement response in order to show that impaired inhibitory processes cause age-related changes in cognitive abilities. Older adults were slower to move their eyes in the opposite direction from the peripheral onset than in the opposite direction from where an arrow was pointing but younger adults' correct antisaccade latencies were unaffected by the cue type and inhibitory difficulty of the task.
