Verbal intelligence has been shown to affect performance on verbal memory tests for healthy young adults. However, it is not clear that the association between verbal intelligence and memory is the same for healthy older adults because, while performance on verbal intelligence measures remains relatively stable in older age, there is significant normal age-related memory decline. In fact, the magnitude of age-related decline in verbal memory performance is so substantial that there may be a significant difference between the memory performance of individuals in their early (i.e. 80 to 84) versus late (i.e. 85 to 89) eighties. This raises the possibility of an interactive effect between verbal intelligence and age on verbal memory for individuals in their 9th decade. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of verbal intelligence and age on verbal memory test performance in the elderly. One hundred thirty-nine healthy participants aged 80-89 were divided into four groups based on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - III (WAIS-III) Vocabulary scaled score: average/below average (11) and above average ( 12); and age: early 80's (80 to 84) and late 80's (85 to 89). The groups were compared on Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) total and delayed recall scores. Results from two-way ANOVA indicated a significant interaction effect between age and Vocabulary score for the RAVLT total score. ANOVA pairwise comparisons revealed a between groups difference that is inconsistent with the established presence of age-related memory decline that yields the current data invalid and ungeneralizable: for individuals in the average and below intelligence group, the younger age group performed worse than the older age group. Two-way ANOVA results indicated no interaction or main effects for age or Vocabulary score on RAVLT delay score. Other significant and marginal findings are discussed which argue for further research on the use of different norms for people aged 80-84 and 85-89, though no finding on the applicability of the IQ - memory relationship can be discussed due to selection bias.

Four experiments were conducted to determine the magnitude of age-linked changes in the effects of long-term memory variables on verbal short-term memory performance, speeded speech processing, and error rates in young adults between 18-23 years and healthy older adults between 65-80 years. The goals of these experiments were twofold. First, the studies were an empirical investigation of whether a wide range of variables associated with language processing (lexical status, word length, word frequency, and phonological neighborhood density) and semantic processing (concreteness and semantic homogeneity of lists) affected the memory performance of young and older adults in different ways. Second, the studies were designed to enable tests of competing theories regarding the processes by which long-term memory variables affect verbal short-term memory processes more generally. Memory measures indicated small and frequently non-significant reductions in memory performance for the older adults relative to the young adults; results also indicated that all of the long-term memory variables tested made significant contributions to recall performance in both young and older adults. Despite a lack of significant age differences in the magnitude of their effects on memory measures, lexical status, word frequency and phonological neighborhood density all yielded significant interactions with age group in performance on speeded reading tasks used to measure rehearsal rate differences. Older adults made more speech errors relative to young adults for nonwords, low-frequency words, and words from sparse phonological neighborhoods, but not for other stimulus types. Results from these experiments are discussed in terms of the redintegration model, which accounts for long-term memory contributions to verbal short-term memory tasks in terms of a trace-recovery process within the phonological loop, and in terms of the binding model, an interactive language-memory framework that describes verbal short term memory tasks as a task of forming linkages between representations within the language system and an internal representation of context.

Do memory abilities decline with aging? Are changes in memory universal or differential? Do they occur similarly or differently for all types of memory and to all aging persons? These are some of the principal questions explored in the Victoria Longitudinal Study and presented in this volume. Although there is a tremendous amount of research comparing the memory performance of younger and older adults, very few studies have followed the same older adults over time. Only through the use of such longitudinal methods can one directly observe changes in memory functioning with aging. This monograph reports longitudinal data following the same individuals over a six-year period. The authors consider a variety of theoretical and methodological issues related to memory and aging.

Everyday Memory and Aging is a comprehensive handbook which touches virtually every aspect of current everyday memory research and methodology as they relate to aging. This book demonstrates that the results of divergent approaches to the study of everyday memory and aging frequently dovetail, and it widens significantly the scope of investigation and know- ledge in the field.
