The story mnemonic technique, an effective encoding and retrieval strategy for young adults, was used as a procedure to study encoding and recall in elderly women. Experiment 1 (15 undergraduate and 14 elderly women) showed the technique to be reliable over 3 weeks and without practice effects in both age groups. In Experiment 2, 67 elderly women (mean age = 72 years) were found to make up 3 distinctive subgroupings in patterns of narration cohesiveness and recall accuracy, consistent with pilot data on the technique. A stepwise multiple regression equation found narration cohesiveness, an adaptation of the Daneman-Carpenter (1980) working-memory measure and vocabulary to predict word recall. Results suggested that a general memory factor differentiated the 3 elderly subgroups.
故事记忆技巧是一种对年轻人有效的编码和检索策略，被用作研究老年女性编码和回忆的程序。实验1（15名本科生和14名老年女性）表明，该技巧在3周内是可靠的，且在两个年龄组中均无练习效应。在实验2中，发现67名老年女性（平均年龄 = 72岁）在叙述连贯性和回忆准确性模式上形成了3个不同的亚组，这与该技巧的试点数据一致。一个逐步多元回归方程发现，叙述连贯性（对Daneman-Carpenter（1980年）工作记忆测量和词汇的改编）可预测单词回忆。结果表明，一个一般记忆因素区分了这3个老年亚组。
