研究人员对 44 名老年人和年轻人对相关言语材料的立即和延迟（一周）回忆和识别进行了调查。使用信号检测理论技术评估识别性能，以便独立于响应标准来分析保留情况。还研究了表现与性别、教育、职业和 WAIS 词汇分数之间的关系。老年人的长期记忆的下降幅度比即时记忆的下降幅度更大，并且在两个时间间隔内的识别记忆得分都较低。反应标准没有年龄差异。在背景变量中，WAIS 词汇量与表现呈正相关，而职业与记忆分数呈负相关。研究结果提供了老年人存储能力不足的证据，至少在散文材料方面是这样。
Immediate and delayed (one-week) recall and recognition of connected verbal material in a group of 44 elderly and young adults were investigated. Recognition performance was assessed with Signal Detection Theory techniques, in order to analyze retention independently of response criterion. The relationships between performance and sex, education, occupation, and WAIS Vocabulary Score were also studied. The aged showed a relatively greater decrement in long-term recall than immediate, and lower recognition memory scores at both intervals. There were no age differences in response criterion. Of the background variables, WAIS Vocabulary had a positive relationship to performance, and occupation was negatively related to memory scores. The results provided evidence for a storage deficit in the elderly, at least with prose material.
