Kane M, Hasher L, Stoltzfus E, Zacks R, Connelly S
Psychol Aging . 1994 Mar; 9(1):103-12. PMID: 8185857
Two experiments sought to elicit distractor suppression in older adults. Experiment 1 used a procedure that increased suppression in younger adults, thus creating a more sensitive measure of suppression in...

ZACKS J, Zacks R
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform . 1993 Aug; 19(4):798-813. PMID: 8409859
We consider several ways in which the interpretation of reaction time (RT) data might confound differences in visual search rates with non-search-related factors. To determine whether estimates of search rates...

Stoltzfus E, Hasher L, Zacks R, Ulivi M, Goldstein D
J Gerontol . 1993 Jul; 48(4):P179-88. PMID: 8315234
Previous work (Hasher, Stoltzfus, Zacks, & Rypma, 1991) suggested the existence of adult age-related differences in the ability to suppress or inhibit irrelevant information. This investigation explored age differences in...

Radvansky G, Spieler D, Zacks R
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 1993 Jan; 19(1):95-114. PMID: 8423436
Previous research (Radvansky & Zacks, 1991) has shown that the fan effect is mediated not by the number of nominal associations paired with a concept but by the number of...

Connelly S, Hasher L, Zacks R
Psychol Aging . 1991 Dec; 6(4):533-41. PMID: 1777141
Older and younger adults read aloud and answered questions about texts that did or did not have distracting material interspersed amid target text. When present, distracting material occurred in a...

Radvansky G, Zacks R
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 1991 Sep; 17(5):940-53. PMID: 1834775
Explanations of data from fan effect experiments have been based on propositional network models. This article presents findings not readily predicted by such models. In particular, in three experiments we...

Gerard L, Zacks R, Hasher L, Radvansky G
J Gerontol . 1991 Jul; 46(4):P131-6. PMID: 2071837
The fan effect paradigm was used to investigate age-related changes in the effects of different levels of interference on retrieval. Younger and older adults learned a list of person-activity "facts"...

Hasher L, Stoltzfus E, Zacks R, Rypma B
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 1991 Jan; 17(1):163-9. PMID: 1826730
Two experiments assess adult age differences in the extent of inhibition or negative priming generated in a selective-attention task. Younger adults consistently demonstrated negative priming effects; they were slower to...

Radvansky G, Gerard L, Zacks R, Hasher L
Psychol Aging . 1990 Jun; 5(2):209-14. PMID: 2378686
Recent work suggests that formation and use of mental model (representations of situations described) is an integral part of discourse comprehension. In an experiment comparing younger and older adults on...

Zacks R, Hasher L, Doren B, Hamm V, Attig M
J Gerontol . 1987 Jul; 42(4):418-22. PMID: 3598090
The usefulness of a general capacity model for predicting age differences in memory for critical information in text was assessed. Passages that either explicitly stated or implied, in either a...
