AGE EFFECTS ON AUTOMATIC AND EFFORTFUL INFORMATION PROCESSING

这项研究的目的是检验老龄化的影响。 关于自动和费力的发展和制定 注意过程。这个目的是通过以下方式实现的 对照实验室研究。以前的这方面的研究 实验室，研究自动视觉的发展 检测在青年、中年人中广泛应用。一项额外的 一系列实验证明，老年人失败了 开发自动检测并不是由于 需要检测的项目、练习不足、练习时间表、 或者是回应竞争。自动检测被视为 项目将是对老年人在多大程度上 可以超越第一级的学习，即“联想” 学习，要建立起优先学习的直接和 对优先学习的即时反应 注意系统对这一事件的直接和即时反应 要检测的项目。 该项目的意义在于规划和核算 关于自动视觉发展的成熟变化 侦测在我们的日常生活中扮演着如此重要的角色。

The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of aging upon the development and enactment of automatic and effortful attentional processes. The purpose is accomplished through controlled laboratory studies. Previous research in this laboratory, investigating the development of automatic visual detection in young, middle-aged extensive practice. An additional series of experiments established that the older adults, failure to development automatic detection was not due to the nature of the items to be detected, insufficient practice, the practice schedule, or response competition. Automatic detection is viewed as the project will be an examination of the extent to which old adults can go beyond the first level of learning, i.e., "associative" learning, to priority learning which establishes a direct and immediate responses of the to priority learning which establishes a direct and immediate response of the attentional system to the item to be detected. The significance of this project lies in mapping out and accounting for maturational changes in the development of automatic visual detection which plays such an important part in our daily lives.
