Age differences in implicit learning of higher order dependencies in serial patterns

Article Abstract:

A series of experiments was conducted to analyze serial pattern learning in younger and older adults. The pattern events of the serial learning task was alternated randomly. Results indicate that no one among the respondents was able to describe accurately the nature of regularity, but with practice, every individual in all age groups becomes faster, more accurate on pattern trails than on random trials. This proves that although adults of all ages are able to learn second-order statistical dependencies in a sequence, age-related deficits were obtained in a magnitude of pattern learning.

Implicit learning of a nonverbal sequence in younger and older adults

Article Abstract:

Analysis of age-linked variations in implicit learning using a modified Nissen SRT task in younger adults and two groups of older adults differing in verbal ability, educational level and occupational status revealed similar negative transfer effects in younger and higher ability older adults but lesser implicit learning in lower ability older adults. The findings emphasize the significance of employing an individual differences approach to the study of adult cognition. The results of an explicit learning task are discussed.

Age differences in implicit memory: conceptual, perceptual, or methodological?

Article Abstract:

The age differences were examined in conceptual and perceptual implicit memory via word-fragment completion, word-stem completion, category exemplar generation, picture-fragment identification, and picture naming. It was noted that most implicit memory process remains stable across adulthood.
