Results: Every 1-point increase in network size ( b = 0.048, p < 0.001) and volume of contact ( b = 0.049, p < 0.01...

...Heather R. Bailey; John Dunlosky; Christopher Hertzog Background: Older adults typically perform worse on measures of working memory (WM) than do young adults; however, age-related differences in WM performance might be reduced if older adults use effective encoding strategies. Objective...
