Age-related Asymmetries
This is an excerpt from the paper...
In this study, the authors investigated if age-related asymmetries predicted under Node Structure Theory existed between detecting and retrieving orthographic information. They begin their article by reviewing many of the studies already conducted on the effects of aging separately on the input and output of language, and argue that the effects found in these studies are asymmetric, and that this represents a fundamental challenge to theories of cognitive aging, which then needs to explain why some aspects of information processing are more vulnerable to the effects of aging that others. To study these effects of aging, the authors used two groups of subjects: a young group aged from 17 to 23 years from introductory psychology classes, and an older group aged from 62 to 85 years who were part of the UCLA Cognition and Aging Lab pool. The tests consisted of presenting sets of words to both groups: Type 1 words were high-frequency occurrence words which were presented with correct spelling (e.g. elderly), un-repeated letter misspelling (e.g. elderly), and repeated letter (e.g. elderly) misspelling; Type 2 words were difficult to spell, appeared only in one correctly
