本文研究了策略训练对年轻人和老年人在即时列表回忆和工作记忆任务中表现的影响。年轻人和老年人的实验组接受了三次记忆训练，教授使用心理图像来改善单词列表的记忆。与此相反，控制组没有被指示使用任何特定的策略，但他们被要求进行记忆练习。结果表明，策略训练提高了年轻和老年实验组在即时列表回忆和工作记忆任务中的表现。特别有趣的是，老年实验组的工作记忆表现的改善与年轻实验组相当。
The paper examines the effect of strategic training on the performance of younger and older adults in an immediate list-recall and a working memory task. The experimental groups of younger and older adults received three sessions of memory training, teaching the use of mental images to improve the memorization of word lists. In contrast, the control groups were not instructed to use any particular strategy, but they were requested to carry out the memory exercises. The results showed that strategic training improved performance of both the younger and older experimental groups in the immediate list recall and in the working memory task. Of particular interest, the improvement in working memory performance of the older experimental group was comparable to that of the younger experimental group.
