Geropsychological Research on Learning and Memory: Implications for Programming.
Hulicka, Irene M.; Goundard, Beverley Roberts – New Directions for Continuing Education, 1982
Some of the problems ordinarily attributed to poor learning and bad memory in older adults can be accounted for by inadequate stimulus or response output. Prospects for improving learning and memory efficiency in older adults are thus better than formerly believed. (SK)

Maximizing Learning Efficiency in Later Adulthood: A Cognitive Problem-Solving Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gounard, Beverly Roberts; Hulicka, Irene M. – Educational Gerontology, 1977
An age-related decline in performance is typically observed in research on tasks that rely on cognitive processing. However, such declines must not be accepted as indisputable evidence that the learning efficiency of older adults is necessarily impared. A number of noncognitive factors also mitigate against optimal performance in the aged. (Author)

A Cognitive Problem-Solving Approach to Learning in Later Adulthood.
Gounard, Beverly R.; Hulicka, Irene M. – 1977
An age-related decline in performance is typically observed in research on tasks that rely on cognitive processing. However, such declines must not be accepted as indisputable evidence that the learning efficiency of older adults is necessarily impaired. Cognitive factors such as a production deficiency in long-term memory and/or a retrieval…
