A comparison of higher order auditory processes in younger and older adults

Article Abstract:

The effects of aging on higher order auditory processes of younger and older adults with respect to their auditory channel capacity, the extent of their top-down control over auditory gain and their ability to focus attention on a narrow band of frequencies were investigated. No age differences were found in any of these areas, suggesting that some higher auditory processes are preserved in normal aging despite age-related declines in peripheral auditory functionality.

Influences on the efficiency of prospective memory in younger and older adults

Article Abstract:

Research involving task performance indicates that age-related variations in prospective memory (PM) are not moderated by matching degree between the defining PM cue features and the nature of processing needed during activity performance. Age-related variations were comprised primarily of omission errors by adults in older age groups.

Comparing the effects of aging and background noise on short-term memory performance

Article Abstract:

Issues concerning a study of the impact of background noise and age on short-term memory performance are discussed. Young and older people were examined for paired associate recall and the results are presented and analysed.
