描述了三个实验。他们调查了四种可能的解释，解释了之前报道的老年人在识别不完整数字方面表现不如年轻人：(1)老年人产生反应的标准较高；(2)他们对刺激材料不太熟悉；(3)对图形特定部分的信息价值了解较少；(4)对部分信息的利用效率较低。实验结果支持了第四个假设，并表明老年人在进行知觉推理时不能像年轻人那样有效地利用刺激信息。
Three experiments are described. They investigated four possible explanations for the previously reported poorer performance of older adults relative to younger adults in accuracy of identifying incomplete figures: (1) a higher criterion on the part of older adults for producing a response; (2) a lesser familiarity on their part with the stimulus materials; (3) a less adequate knowledge of the information value of particular segments of the figure; (4) a less efficient utilization of partial information. The results of the experiments supported the fourth hypothesis and indicated that older adults are unable to utilize stimulus information as effectively as younger adults in making perceptual inferences.
