High-plausible (schema coherent) words were recalled better than lowplausible (schema discrepant) words in both age groups. This difference was larger for old-adults than for young adults for presentation times ranging from 3 s to 11 s per word. After equating participants in overall recall (i.e., at 50\% correct) by dynamic adjustment of presentation time, old adults again showed a stronger plausibility effect than young adults when recall was above criterion. In a second experiment with self-paced encoding, old adults used more time than young adults only for low-plausible pairs, yet they still remembered fewer of them. In a third experiment, both age groups preferred to imagine high- rather than low-plausible words, but this effect was more pronounced in old adults. The results indicate that, compared with young adults, old adults find it particularly difficult to form elaborative mental images of schema-discrepant information under a wide variety of time constraints during encoding. Results are discussed in relation to explanations based on age-related mental slowing.}, language = {en} } @article{KlieglBaltes1991, author = {Kliegl, Reinhold and Baltes, Paul B.}, title = {Testing-the-Limits kognitiver Entwicklungskapazit{\"a}t in einer Ged{\"a}chtnisleistung}, issn = {0233-2353}, year = {1991}, language = {de} } @misc{KlieglBaltes1991, author = {Kliegl, Reinhold and Baltes, Paul B.}, title = {Testing-the-Limits kognitiver Entwicklungskapazit{\"a}t in einer Ged{\"a}chtnisleistung}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-40362}, year = {1991}, abstract = {Bisherige Ergebnisse der kognitiven Altersforschung erlauben keine Schlußfolgerung dar{\"u}ber, ob die Gr{\"o}ße und Robustheit der Altersverluste in kognitiven Basisprozessen irreversibel sind und folglich als Indikatoren neurobiologischer Grenzen des alternden Organismus interpretiert werden k{\"o}nnen: Durch die Forschungsstrategie des Testing-the-Limits wurden im Zusammenhang mit einer kognitiven Intervention zuverl{\"a}ssige Ergebnisse bez{\"u}glich alterskorrelierter Grenzen kognitiver Entwicklungskapazit{\"a}t erwartet.

Although both ability training and extended retest practice resulted in significant gains in objective test performance (Baltes, Kliegl, \& Dittmann-Kohli, 1988), only ability training resulted in positive changes in self-efficacy. However, these changes were restricted to testrelated self-efficacy. Training had no impact on perceived utility or on everyday self-efficacy beliefs.
