AGE AND BEHAVIOR: AIDS AND TYPES OF LEARNING – CATEGORIZATION - DIFFERENTIAL BENEFITS FOR THE ELDERLY
The studies of Heron and Craik (1964) and of Craik and Masani (1964), described in the previous chapter, indicate that elderly adults are disadvantaged relative to younger ones when a learning task is amenable to organization. As the units of information within a task can be integrated into larger units, the task becomes easier to learn, but elderly people are not always able to take advantage of this. It was hypothesized, therefore, that older people do not organize incoming information very well, and this makes for their relative disadvantage.
Hultsch (1969) sought to investigate this hypothesis by providing instructions (cues) to categorize or organize the information that was to be learned. He presented subjects with a long list of words, each word presented one at a time. The lists were presented several times with the instruction after each complete presentation to write down as many of the words as had been learned, in any order desired. Subjects of three age groups were tested, but none were of the age that is typically referred to as "elderly" or "old." The three age groups were 16-19, 30-39, and 45-54 years.
Each of these three groups was divided into three subgroups. One subgroup of each age was given the task in standard fashion, i.e., the subjects were simply instructed to write down as many words as they could. A second subgroup was instructed to do this but advised to "try and organize your recalled words in some way . . . people who organize their words ... do better." A third subgroup was instructed, "Organize your recalled words alphabetically . . . note their first letters, and make an attempt to associate the word with the letter" (Hultsch, 1969).
Hultsch found that with people of low verbal facility, the oldest age group and the middle age group were poorer than the youngest group with the first two types of instructions, i.e., the ones least helpful in organizing the material. However, when the instructions were most explicit in how to best organize the material, these age group differences were no longer seen. This confirmed the hypothesis that the aged who are poor performers are so partly because of poor approaches or efforts in organizing incoming information. When helped in these efforts, however, they show good ability to learn.
These results, however, were not all that were reported by Hultsch. The older people of high verbal facility were not benefited differentially by the instruction which provided aid in organization. Apparently, when highly verbal people reach older ages, they do not suffer in their efforts to organize information. These results are compatible with those of Craik and Masani (1967).
