We explored whether long-term memory (LTM) retrieval is constrained by working memory (WM) limitations, in 80 younger and 80 older adults. Participants performed a WM task with images of unique everyday items, presented at varying set sizes. Subsequently, we tested participants' LTM for items from the WM task and examined the ratio of LTM/WM retention. While older adults' WM and LTM were generally poorer than that of younger adults, their LTM deficit was no greater than what was predicted from their WM performance. The ability to appeared immune to age-related cognitive decline. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
我们探讨了长期记忆 (LTM) 的检索是否受到工作记忆 (WM) 限制的影响，共有 80 名年轻成年人和 80 名老年成年人参与了研究。参与者在不同的集合大小下完成了一项使用独特日常物品图像的 WM 任务。随后，我们测试了参与者对 WM 任务中项目的 LTM，并检查了 LTM/WM 保留的比例。虽然老年人的 WM 和 LTM 通常比年轻人差，但他们的 LTM 缺陷并不大于从 WM 表现预测的 LTM 缺陷。这种能力似乎不受与年龄相关的认知衰退的影响。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利)。
