Learning Efficiency in Older and Younger Adults Over Testing Sessions

This study explores the improved performance of younger and older adults in learning tasks across testing sessions. The research indicates that age does not affect the learning-related improvements in performance over time between the two groups.

  1. Figure 6. One possible explanation for the improved performance of YNH subjects is that they learn more effectively than ONH subjects over successive testing sessions. Figure 7 shows the performance of the ONH subjects across the three test sessions. A comparison of learning effects in ONH and YNH subjects, with age and session as factors, showed that d' improved significantly over test sessions (F(2,60) = 21.07, p < 0.001) without a significant age × session interaction (F(2,60) = 1.13, NS). Thus, the learning-related improvements across sessions were similar in ONH and YNH subjects. Woods DL, Doss Z, Herron TJ, Yund EW. Age-related changes in consonant and sentence processing.
