The Effect of Implicit and Explicit Motivation on Recall among Old and Young Adults.
McClelland, David C.; Scioli, Anthony; Weaver, Suzanne
International Journal of Aging & Human Development, v46 n1 p1-20 1998
Sixty-eight elderly subjects and 77 young adults were compared on implicit and explicit motive levels and on recall of introductions and working memory. Significantly fewer of the elderly scored high in the implicit motives. The elderly participants showed major recall deficits on both tasks but the implicit motives studied enhanced recall for the elderly but not for the young adults. (Author/MKA)
