Memory, Ability and Age

From the Paper:

Abstract
"Independent t-tests were conducted to determine whether five separate measures of memory ability varied as a function of age. There were three significant differences revealing that young adults perform somewhat better than old adults in terms of: (1) the capacity to hold information in conscious awareness; (2} the ability to manipulate or transform information held in primary memory; and (3) the ability to recall words. No significant differences were found between young and old subjects on the measures of secondary memory capacity or the ability to remember the content of prose passages. Level of education and amount of reading done per week were not found to be correlated with memory ability."
