Evaluation of Persons of Varying Ages.
Stolte, John F.
Journal of Social Psychology, v136 n3 p305-09 Jun 1996
Reviews two experiments that strongly support dual coding theory. Dual coding theory holds that communicating concretely (tactile, auditory, or visual stimuli) affects evaluative thinking stronger than communicating abstractly through words and numbers. The experiments applied this theory to the realm of age and evaluation. (MJP)
