| Popis: | A test of memory for visual hierarchical stimuli was given to normal volunteers from three age groups (21 to 78 years old). Significant age‐related declines were found in recall of global‐ and local‐level stimuli on three immediate recall trials and on a 20‐min delayed recall trial. On delayed recognition testing, older subjects chose significantly more false‐positive items that were correct at the global level only. When younger subjects were equated for initial recall of global‐level stimuli, the older subjects were deficient in immediate recall of local‐level stimuli. These results suggest that memory for hierarchical stimuli declines with age and that aging may disproportionately affect memory for local‐level stimuli. |
