Abstract

Twenty-two young (age 17-21)and 22 old (age 60-74) men and women participated in an investigation designed to determine the extent to which age differences in omission errors and performance in a serial learning task are accounted for by cautiousness. Age differences were found on the measures of cautiousness, and verbal learning, with young adults making more correct responses and proportionately fewer omission errors on the learning task and taking greater risks on the risk-taking tasks. The results indicated that cautiousness measures accounted for age differences in omission errors but not in performance.

摘要

22名年轻人（年龄在17至21岁之间）和22名老年人（年龄在60至74岁之间）参与了一项调查，该调查旨在确定在一项系列学习任务中，遗漏错误和表现方面的年龄差异在多大程度上可由谨慎程度来解释。在谨慎程度和言语学习的测量指标上发现了年龄差异，年轻人在学习任务中做出更多正确反应，遗漏错误相应较少，并且在冒险任务中承担更大风险。结果表明，谨慎程度的测量指标可以解释遗漏错误方面的年龄差异，但不能解释表现方面的年龄差异。
