AGE AND BEHAVIOR: MEMORY THEORY – LONG-TERM MEMORY - THREE TYPES OF MEMORY
A large scale study was carried out without preconception regarding theories of memory (Botwinick and Storandt, 1974). Adults of wide age range (20-79 years) were given a large variety of memory tests of as many different kinds as seemed feasible, but not including tests of sensory memory. Among the memory tests was a series of information questions—questions having to do with memory of sociohistoric facts, as for example, "In what city was President John F. Kennedy assassinated?"
The questions were chosen to represent information of common knowledge, but clearly, not everyone tested would ever have been able to answer, "Dallas," i.e., not everyone would have known this information in the first place. In such a case the test item was not of memory but of general information. However, the assumption in the study was that all age groups were equal in having acquired the asked-for information at some time in life. Or, stated in a different way, it was assumed that all age groups tested were similar in the percentage of people who at one time learned the asked-for information. With this assumption the series of questions became tests of memory—tests of recalling what at one time was learned.
The sociohistoric questions covered four time periods, each 20 years. There were questions of events occurring in the 1950s and 60s, the 1930s and 40s, the 1910s and 20s, and 1890 to 1909. The results of the study showed that age is not associated with decline in this type of long-term memory. The 70-year-olds were about as good as the 20-year-olds, who were no different from those of in-between age. However, an interesting observation (made about men only since the questions were less appropriate for women, as determined in subsequent unpublished research). While all age groups were similar in overall recall scores, they were different in what they recalled. For example, men in their 30s remembered more sociohistoric facts of the 1950s and 60s than any other age group, while men in their 50s remembered more information of the 1930s and 40s than did the others. This interaction between age and time period was such that memory was best for those events that had occurred at the time the men were between 15 and 25 years of age when experiencing them. The age of the person did not seem important; only the age when the information was acquired seemed important. It may be that the greatest impact or greatest importance of the sociohistoric event (e.g., President Kennedy's death) was felt by those aged 15-25 and that is why it was best recalled.
