Do performance strategies mediate age-related differences in associative learning?
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to prove the theory that associative learning as a basic component of learning task regresses with age. Such associative learning has been assessed by using a noun-pair task. Interim testing and prior practice on similar task were the manipulated variables. Results indicate that a performance variable such as cognitive task strategy can contribute to the finding of age-related difference in associative learning.
