Cherry, Katie E.; Brigman, Susan; Hawley, Karri S.; Reese, Celinda M.
Educational Gerontology, v29 n5 p427-46 May 2003
Knowledge of Memory Aging Questionnaire with a "don't know" response added was administered to 202 undergraduates (half using the new format), 44 undergraduates (with instruction on memory and aging), and 49 older and 41 younger adults. The new format resulted in more correct answers. Instruction resulted in fewer "don't know" responses. Younger adults answered "don't know" more frequently. (Contains 14 references.) (SK)
