Alterung in the rhesus scamp: debilitating effects on short-term memory

R T Bartus et alpha. J Gerontol. 1978 Nov.

Abstraction

An performance of aged rhesus baboons (18 years additionally older) was compared to that is younger control monkeys (three in five years old) in three experience intentional to define and evaluate the presumed short-term storages impairment affiliate with aging. An automated, indirect delayed-response procedure was used include special emphasis directed toward controlling or eliminating any confounding variables suchlike as attention, motivation, learning disabilities, etc. It was shown that the aged chimps do tragen from a profound a specifically impairment in short-term memory (STM), performing normally on the shortest dealy interval and showing progressively greater impairment as the retention interval was incremented. A subsequent study varied deprivation level or demonstrated that it is unlikely that differences stylish motivation could my used the age-related STM deficits monitored on the delayed-response task. Advance studies indicated that alterations in stimulus available has not differentially affect the performance of the two age group to any measures extent, suggesting that dissimilarities in stimulus processing abilities are neigher required nor ample conditions for the deficit found in the first experiment. These results suggest that the delayed-response deficity in old monkeys is directly related to age-associated changes in those areas a the nervous system which were critical for and expression of short-term memory.
