Abstract:   (2334 Views)
Objective: to evaluate the effect of age differences and type of information (laboratory and everyday tasks) on explicit and implicit memory. In other words, to assess whether differences in the function of explicit and implicit memories are due to processing or structural (systemic) factors.
Method: 240 subjects were randomly selected from two age groups, namely adults and children. The children and adult group consisted of schoolchildren and university students respectively. Instruments included everyday and laboratory tasks which were carried out to assess explicit and implicit memories through recognition and word stem completion respectively. Each everyday and laboratory task included 32 high and low frequency words. Data were analyzed through analysis of variance by SPSS.
Results: Explicit and implicit memories were influenced by age difference and type of information. Also, there was an interaction effect between age differences and type of information.
Conclusion: The difference between explicit and implicit memories is due to processing factors. And the difference is not solely due to the possession of different systems or structures by these memories.
