摘要
Younger (mean age = 20) and older (mean age = 63) adults were asked to pro­duce free associations to the same list of 24 verbal stimuli on each of four trials. Older adults tended to produce less common associations and their associations were less consistent across trials. Possible relationships between older adults’ in­consistency in processing and their (a) poorer memory performance and (b) slower reaction times were discussed. © 1979 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
