Peer reviewedAnooshian, Linda J.; Samuelson, Julie A. – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1986
Young, middle-age, and old adults ranked similarities of word pairs in a conditional rank-ordering task. Analyses of variance revealed an age-related decline in semantic processing but no such decline for elaboration. Older adults' retrieval was less compatible with initial processing than was the case for younger adults. (Author/ABB)
