In 3 experiments, a pronunciation task was used to examine repetition priming of novel nonwords in young and older adults. The contributions of item and associative priming to the total repetition priming effect were assessed. In Experiment 1, age consistency was found in both components of repetition priming after 9 repetitions of nonwords. Experiment 2 established that young and older adults were similar in item and associative priming after as few as 2 repetitions of nonwords. Finally, Experiment 3 demonstrated that associative priming persists for at least 3 min and that it is dissociable from cued recall. The overall pattern of results strongly argues that elaborative processing is not necessary to obtain associative priming in indirect memory tasks and that young and older adults show similar magnitudes of associative priming.
在3项实验中，使用发音任务来检验年轻人和老年人对新造非词的重复启动效应。评估了项目启动和关联启动对总重复启动效应的贡献。在实验1中，非词重复9次后，发现重复启动的两个成分在年龄上具有一致性。实验2证实，非词仅重复2次后，年轻人和老年人在项目启动和关联启动方面相似。最后，实验3表明，关联启动至少持续3分钟，并且它与线索回忆是可分离的。结果的总体模式有力地表明，在间接记忆任务中获得关联启动并不需要精细加工，并且年轻人和老年人表现出相似程度的关联启动。
