图片和文字刺激的空间位置在摄影幻灯片的 4 个象限中各不相同。年轻人和老年人收到图片或文字进行研究，并被告知只记住该物品或该物品及其位置。测试了物品的识别记忆和空间位置的记忆。老年人和年轻人的物品识别均出现图像优势效应。研究位置的指示会减少两个年龄段的项目记忆并促进位置记忆。与老年人和年轻人相比，图片的空间记忆明显优于匹配的单词。结果在自动处理的 Hasher 和 Zacks 框架内进行解释。考虑了数据对为老年人设计助记工具的影响。
The spatial location of picture and word stimuli was varied across 4 quadrants of photographic slides. Young and old people received either pictures or words to study and were told to remember either just the item or the item and its location. Recognition memory for items and memory for spatial location were tested. A pictorial superiority effect occurred for both old and young people''s item recognition. Instructions to study position decreased item memory and facilitated position memory in both age groups. Spatial memory was markedly superior for pictures compared with matched words for old and young adults. Results are interpreted within the Hasher and Zacks framework of automatic processing. Implications of the data for designing mnemonic aids for elderly persons are considered.
