AGE AND BEHAVIOR: LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE - TASK MEANINGFULNESS -FAMILIARITY OF THE TASK - SENSELESS AND SENSEFUL STIMULI
While Wittels reported no effect of task familiarity with respect to the differences in performance of old and young learners, Heron and Craik (1964) did find some evidence of a difference—but in an opposite direction: The old were seen disadvantaged by familiar material!
Heron and Craik tested English subjects in digit span, but the digits were presented in the Finnish language. (Each subject was given a list of digits in serial order and tested for the maximum number of digits that could be repeated correctly.) In this way, the English subjects were tested for the recall of auditory stimuli which to them were equivalent to nonsense stimuli. Young adults (20-35 years) and adults in their 60s were matched such that, on the average, both age groups repeated correctly 3.6 Finnish digits. These matched subjects were then given an English digit span test (senseful stimuli) and the two age groups were compared. The younger group repeated correctly 8.3 digits on the average, and the older group repeated only 6.8 digits.
These results were attributed to a reduced efficiency with age in a "coding" process, i.e., in the ability to organize incoming information, with semantic memory suffering more than episodic memory. Meaningful material can more easily be organized than nonsense material and, thus, any deficiency in the organizing process would be more apparent with senseful than with senseless stimuli.
Corroboration of this analysis was seen in a later study by Craik and Masani (1967). Three types of verbal material were presented to people ranging in age from 20 to 79 years. The first was meaningful sentences, the second was color names, and the third was proverbs with the word order scrambled. It was assumed that in the case of meaningful sentences, the material was amenable to organization, and in the case of scrambled proverbs it could also be organized but with a different system; but in the case of color names, they "merely had to be stored in relatively uncoded (unorganized) form." The hypothesis, therefore, was that aged subjects, as compared to younger ones, would show less ability with the meaningful and scrambled words (semantic memory), but do relatively well with the color names (episodic memory). This hypothesis was borne out by the results.
