Effects of Remember-subset Strategy on Visual Working Memory Capacity in Old Adults
The current study used the change detection paradigm to examine the effects of remember-subset strategy and remember-all strategy on visual working memory in the elderly people.The results showed that in the elderly people,regardless of whether the num-ber of items was 3 or 5,compared with remember-all strategy,using remember-subset strategy could significantly increase the capaci-ty of visual working memory.Among the young people,when the number of items was 3,there was no significant difference between re-member-all strategy and remember-subset strategy.On the contrary,when the number of items was 5,compared with remember-all strategy,using remember-subset strategy could significantly increase the capacity of visual working memory.This suggests that remem-ber-subset strategy has a positive influence on the young and the old adults when the number of items exceeds its capacity.
