“…Such behaviour is in line with other findings such as the fact that lexical diversity tends to be higher among older adults than younger adults ( e.g. Hupet, Chantraine, & Nef, 1993). Although the pseudo-words were novel in the present study, age-related language changes may have influenced performance, and may explain why the older adults were more likely to circumlocute.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link AbstractThis study explored age-related changes in gesture in order to better understand the relationship between gesture and word retrieval from memory. The frequency of gestures during "Tip-of-the-Tongue" (TOT) states highlights this relationship. There is a lack of evidence describing the form and content of iconic gestures arising spontaneously in such TOT states, and a parallel gap addressing age-related variations. In this study, TOT states were induced in 45 participants from two age groups (older and younger adults) using a pseudoword paradigm. The type and frequency of gestures produced was recorded during two experimental conditions (single-word retrieval/ narrative task). We found that both groups experienced a high number of TOT states, during which they gestured. Iconic co-TOT gestures were more common than non-iconic gestures. Whilst there was no age-effect on the type of gestures produced, there was a significant, task-specific, age difference in the amount of gesturing. That is, younger adults gestured more in the narrative task, whereas older adults generated more gestures on the single-word retrieval task. Task-specific age differences suggest that there are age-related differences in terms of the cognitive operations involved in TOT gesture production.

“…For all indicators of performance used, including number of words used, number of speaking turns used, and the use of optimal descriptors, younger dyads were shown to be the most ef cient communicators. Our results thus replicate those of Hupet et al (1993) who tested younger and older unfamiliar dyads using similar materials. Of course, these results could be the direct consequence of older adults' use of a truly collaborative technique and a focus on reducing errors rather than increasing ef ciency: if one veri es and re-veri es one's choices, the number of words and turns used to accomplish the task will necessarily be increased.…”

Collaborative recall in married and unacquainted dyads

Thirty younger couples between the ages of 19 and 36 (Mˆ26.0, SDˆ3.5) and thirty older couples between the ages of 56 and 85 (Mˆ67.4, SDˆ5.3) were tested on story recall, word recall, and a referential naming task. Each individual worked with the spouse and with a stranger of the other gender so that collaborative performance could be compared between familiar and unfamiliar dyads. Although participants anticipated that higher levels of recall performance would be obtained when they worked with a familiar partner, this expectation was not supported. Older men, but not older women recalled less information than younger adults. Younger dyads were found to be more ef cient communicators than older dyads in the referential naming task.

“…That said, these preserved aspects of memory and learning do not alone account for the performance of the older pairs. Recall that without a partner with whom to collaborate and interact the learning across trials is not observed (Hupet & Chantraine, 1992) and that our results here are in contrast to other versions of the collaborative referencing task in aging that do not preserve many aspects of routine social interaction (e.g., familiar partners, visualization of facial expressions and gesture) (Filer & Scukanec, 1995; Hupet et al, 1993). Thus, the benefits of a social and collaborative environment appear to be above and beyond what would be observed in the presence of intact non-declarative memory alone.…”

“…Hupet, Chantraine, and Nef (1993) and Filer and Scukanec (1995) found that older adults were inferior to younger adults on a collaborative referencing task. A closer inspection of the procedures of those studies may help explain why different results were obtained.…”

Older adults catch up to younger adults on a learning and memory task that involves collaborative social interaction

Learning and memory abilities tend to decline as people age. The current study examines the question of whether a learning situation that emphasizes collaborative social interaction might help older persons overcome age-related learning and memory changes and thus perform similarly to younger persons. Younger and Older participants (n = 34 in each group) completed the Barrier Task, a game-like social interaction where partners work together to develop labels for a set of abstract tangrams. Participants were also administered standard clinical neuropsychological measures of memory, on which the Older group showed expected inferiority to the Younger group. On the Barrier Task, the Older group performed less well than the Younger group early on, but as the task progressed, the performance of the Older group caught up and became statistically indistinguishable from that of the Younger group. These results can be taken to suggest that a learning milieu characterized by collaborative social interaction can attenuate some of the typical memory disadvantages associated with being older.
