Updating knowledge about encoding strategies: A componential analysis of learning about strategy effectiveness from task experience

Article Abstract:

The degree to which adults learn about effective encoding strategies for associative learning is examined.

Training monitoring skills improves older adults' self-paced associative learning

Article Abstract:

Investigations were made on a memory-enhancement program that involved teaching older adults to regulate study through self-testing. Greater training was shown for the regulation group than for the strategy-control and waiting-list control group, indicating that training a monitoring skill self- testing can improve adults learning.

Aging and deficits in associative memory: what is the role of strategy production?

Article Abstract:

The method of strategy production was used to assess the extent to which age differences in strategy production mediate age differences in paired-associate recall. While the study discovered age similarities in reported strategy production for both related and unrelated word pairs and that differences in recall performance accounted for the differences in strategy production, differential strategy production did not in itself significantly contribute to the age differences in associative memory.
