Cautiousness and Verbal Learning in Adulthood

Okun, Morris A.; And Others

Journal of Gerontology, 33, 1, 94-6, Jan 78

Young (N=22) (age 17-21) and 22 old (age 60-74) men and women participated in an investigation designed to determine how differences in omission errors and performance in a serial learning task are accounted for by cautiousness. Cautiousness measures accounted for age differences in omission errors but not in performance. (Author)
