Summary

Memory performance is shown to be affected by age stereotypes among older adults. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of age stereotype primes on episodic memory using priming intervention. The moderating effects of social participation is also examined.

Conditions

  • Aging Well
  • Memory Loss

Interventions

OTHER

Age-related stereotyping priming

The priming intervention was performed using the E-prime 2.0 software (Psychology Software Tools, Pittsburgh, PA). To ensure the primes flashed on screen were beyond awareness, the similar adjustment procedure was taken (see Levy, 1996; Stein et al., 2002). After the trial block, participants were asked to try to report any words viewed during each trial. The stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) will be reduced or enhanced whenever 2 words or above were correctly reported or no single word could be reported respectively. The priming SOA for this study ranged from 32 ms to 208 ms (M = 98.70 ms. SD = 48.60).
