AGE AND BEHAVIOR: LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE -MOTIVATION – CAUTIOUSNESS - RESPONSE BIAS IN LEARNING AND MEMORY
The hearing tests and indicated that signal detection analyses disclosed that elderly people often are cautious in reporting the presence of barely audible sounds. Similar analyses have been applied to learning-memory tests where the subject indicates whether a word or another item of information that he is now shown is one among those in a list he had previously learned. Saying "yes," that it is one previously learned, is thought comparable to saying "yes, I hear the sound"; the subject, however, may be right or not in either instance. The hearing test data would suggest a disinclination on the part of the older person to say "yes" when in fact he had learned the word, but the results suggest otherwise, or perhaps more correctly, suggest a complexity of relations.
In one study adults of two different ages were asked to identify both words they had recently learned and historical facts they had learned long ago (Perlmutter, 1978). No difference with age in response bias was observed, i.e., the age groups were similar in their inclination to say "yes." A similar result was found by Gordon and Clark (1974a) whose subjects learned the content of a paragraph of prose. Thus, in a variety of learning-memory situations, response bias was not seen as characteristic of the elderly. As indicated, however, the results are more complex. The latter investigators carried out another study where a list of meaningful words had to be learned and also a list of nonsense syllables (Gordon and Clark, 1974). The learning lists and tests of recognition of these words that followed were given twice, designated as trial 1 and trial 2.
On trial 1, the older group had higher response bias scores with the meaningful words—they were more cautious in saying "yes, I learned that word before." However, with the nonsense syllables, they were less cautious. No differences in response bias were seen in trial 2.
It may be concluded from this that "The elderly do not, as has been suggested, invariably set a high or cautious criterion . . ." (Gordon and Clark, 1974b). Thus, it seems, the data of learning-memory studies and of hearing studies appear different. It may also be concluded that what age-related differences are observed in response bias in learning-memory studies are not a factor in learning-memory performances. The young performed better than the old with both nonsense and meaningful material even when the age-related response bias was opposite for each of these.
