Cooper, Brian P., Lee, Mark D., Goska, Robert E., Anderson, Marjo M., Gay, Jr. Paul E., Fickes, Lynne Ann and Fisk, Arthur D. (1992): Age-Related Effects in Consistent Memory Search: Performance is the Same but What about Learning?. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 146-150.

“Two experiments were conducted to investigate the mechanisms which underlie the learning in consistently mapped (CM) memory search. In Experiment 1, old and young adults were trained in both CM and variably mapped (VM) category search. The training results replicate previous findings by Fisk and Rogers (1991). Even though older adults are initially at a disadvantage relative to young adults, the comparison times of young and old adults are near zero after CM training. For VM, older adults remain at a disadvantage relative to younger adults, even after extensive training. A full reversal manipulation was implemented in Experiment 2 to investigate the learning in memory search. Initially, the young subjects were less affected by the full reversal condition compared to the performance of the older adults. However, older subjects quickly recovered and both young and old were performing at trained CM levels within 60 trials of additional practice. These results suggest: (a) attention is not being trained in CM memory search; (b) automatic category activation does not contribute much, if at all, to the performance improvement in memory search; and (c) age-invariant learning mechanisms account for performance improvement in CM memory search.”
