Article Abstract:
The efficacy of map-like aids for learning and memory retention of spatial routes is studied among young and older men and women. The various sample groups consisted of those who were not provided with any learning aid, those given a drawing of the route labeled as a 'map' and those who received the same figure but with a 'diagram' label. Results affirm the hypothesis that giving learning and memory aids with configural information helps memory retention, especially among older women.

Article Abstract:
The long-term impact of fluid ability (Gf) intervention techniques for older people is determined through a series of posttests for anxiety inhibiting skills over a three-year period. While the sample group's previously acquired stress reduction capability waned, the GF training is shown to be a potent reminder and memory enhancer for the aged. The three-year posttest results still display vestiges of the acquired skill.

Article Abstract:
A multifactorial memory training program for the aged is conducted to provide insights on two key issues. One pertains to whether the benefits derived from the training program can spill over to tasks not experienced during the training. The other relates to the impact of demographic and psychometric factors on the magnitude of training-associated gains realized. Results of the assessment are discussed.
