Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to study the effectiveness of two different strategies in overcoming the short-term memory deficiencies typically observed in the elderly. Opportunity to rehearse material related to that which subsequently would appear in the test list proved of no benefit in augmenting recall. Significant higher recall was found however when elderly Ss had a cue available at the time of recall to aid retrieval of a particular item.
