Abstract
The speed with which normal elderly and young subjects encoded digits in a speeded same/different matching task was investigated. One condition required a judgment based on physical identity, while in a second condition judgments were based on an odd/even dichotomy. The pattern of results demonstrated a slowing in the speed of encoding in the older subjects. This effect, while statistically significant, was slight.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
