The present study investigated whether older adults' visuospatial working memory shows effects of environmental support for rehearsal similar to those observed in young adults (Lilienthal, Hale, & Myerson, 2014). When the duration of interitem intervals was 4 s and participants had sufficient time to rehearse, location memory spans were larger in both age groups when environmental support was present than when support was absent. Critically, however, the age-related difference in memory was actually larger when support was provided, suggesting that young and older adults may differ in their rehearsal of to-be-remembered locations.

本研究调查了老年人的视觉空间工作记忆是否会表现出与年轻人中观察到的类似的环境支持复述效应（利连索尔、黑尔和迈尔森，2014年）。当项目间间隔时间为4秒且参与者有足够时间进行复述时，在有环境支持的情况下，两个年龄组的位置记忆广度均大于无支持时。然而，关键的是，当提供支持时，与年龄相关的记忆差异实际上更大，这表明年轻人和老年人在对要记忆的位置进行复述方面可能存在差异。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》
