Age-Related Deficits in Intentional Memory for Spatial Location in Small-Scale Space: A Meta-Analysis and Methodological Critique.

Foisy, Pierre

Canadian Journal on Aging, v13 n3 p353-67 Fall 1994

Meta analysis of 22 studies testing 1,598 subjects revealed that aging has a great effect on intentional memory for spatial location. However, methodological limits were found: fewer than half of the studies controlled for age differences in visual acuity or did not use a test phase of fixed duration. (SK)
