我们研究了27名年轻人和28名老年人的策略选择行为的年龄相关差异。参与者解决了4个两位数乘两位数的乘法问题。我们希望他们最初计算答案，但最终切换到检索策略，从记忆中回忆答案。出现了三个群体：符合标准的年轻人（选择20个连续、正确的检索试验并及时回答）、符合标准的老年人和不符合标准的老年人。符合标准的年轻人和老年人有相似的表现模式。一些不符合标准的老年人学习较慢，而其他人似乎反对检索策略。因此，老年人的策略选择模式比年轻的成年人的模式更多样化，这表明不同的解释差异的记忆表现。
We examined age-related differences in strategy-choice behavior in 27 younger and 28 older adults. Participants solved 4 two-digit by two-digit multiplication problems. We expected them to initially calculate the answers but eventually switch to a retrieval strategy, recalling answers from memory. Three groups emerged: younger adults who met the criterion (20 consecutive, correct, retrieval trials selected and answered in time), older adults who met the criterion, and older adults who did not meet the criterion. Younger and older adults who met the criterion had similar performance patterns. Some older adults who did not meet the criterion were slower to learn, whereas others seemed to be averse to the retrieval strategy. Thus, older adult patterns in strategy choice are considerably more varied than younger adult patterns, suggesting different explanations for differences in memory performance.
