Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of perceptual feature training with 25 older and 26 younger adults. A multitrial, cued-recall paradigm was implemented to train the use of 8 perceptual features: age, height, weight/body type, race/ethnic group, hair color, complexion/skin tone, facial expression, and detail. Multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) did not reveal significant differences between groups during untrained name-recall tasks. While the multitrial paradigm was effective in teaching the features to all subjects, older subjects required significantly more trials to learn the features. The application of features in name-recall tasks did not result in improved performance, probably due to overload in the executive systems. The relationship between neuropsychological assessment performance and naming as well as implications and directions for future research are discussed.
