Inhibitory control over the present and the past (2001, background): “Other views of cognitive ageing emphasise age changes in the capacity or speed of information processing (e.g., Craik, 1986; Salthouse, 1996), our view focuses the importance of eYcient processing, such that attention is occupied only by information relevant to accomplishing current goals.”
Bilingualism, aging, and cognitive control: evidence from the Simon task. (2004, background): “What does seem clear is that older adults show a decline in the effectiveness of executive control processes in many situations unless task performance depends on strongly ingrained habits (Hay & Jacoby, 1996, 1999) or is well supported by the environmental context (Craik, 1986).”
Phonological short-term memory, working memory and foreign language performance in intensive language learning * (2008, background): “Other tests of phonological short-term memory include alphabet span (Craik, 1986) and forward digit span (Botwinick and Storandt, 1974).”
Say it to my face: examining the effects of socially encountered misinformation (2004, background): “Thus, Dixon (1992, 1996; see also Craik, 1986) proposed that in everyday life older adults might compensate for memory decline by using external memory aids such as writing lists, keeping a diary, etc. Collaboration with other individuals has been recognized as a common compensatory mechanism for…”
Hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults: the HAROLD model. (2002, background): “Resources View The resources view (Craik, 1983, 1986; Craik & Byrd, 1982) assumes that cognitive processes are fueled by a limited supply of attentional resources (Kahneman, 1973) and that aging further reduces this limited supply, producing deficits on demanding cognitive tasks.”
Aging and verbal memory span: a meta-analysis. (2005, background): “…ge oaded f p memory span tasks, the current study only examines measured by the longest series that is correctly recalled. cognitive aging research, a further distinction is often made on t o l og y / short-term span tasks (Craik, 1986; Gregoire & Van der 1997; Myerson, Emery, White, & Hale, 2003).”
Life Span Theory in Developmental Psychology (2007, background): “In terms of psychological operations, we assume that the cognitive mechanics are indexed by the speed, accuracy, and coordination of elementary processing operations as they can be assessed in tasks measuring the quality of information input, sensory and motor memory, discrimination, categorization,”
Cognitive impairment in preclinical Alzheimer's disease: a meta-analysis. (2005, methodology): “, the Stroop interference task [Stroop, 1935], the alphabet span task [Craik, 1986] ); visuospatial skill (e.g., the Block Design subtest from the WAIS–”
Individual differences in rates of change in cognitive abilities of older persons. (2002, background): “On Alpha Span, sequences of two to eight words were presented, with two items at each length, and participants tried to say them back in alphabetical order (Craik, 1986).”
Factors predicting the use of technology: findings from the Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE). (2006, methodology): “Appendix A Description of Core Battery of Measures Measure Form of administration Description Alphabet span (Craik, 1986) Group Participants were presented with a series of words.”
A meta-analytic review of prospective memory and aging. (2004, background): “imposes greater demands on self-initiation (Craik, 1986) and will”
Prospective and retrospective memory in normal ageing and dementia: A questionnaire study (2000, background): “Self-generated cues rely more on internal retrieval processes for successful remembering (Craik, 1986) than do environmental cues.”
Religious Orders Study: Overview and Change in Cognitive and Motor Speed (2004, methodology): “Working memory is assessed with Digit Span Forward and Digit Span Backward from the Wechsler Memory Scale – Revised (Wechsler, 1987), Alpha Span (Craik, 1986), and Digit Ordering (Cooper, Sagar, Jordan, Harvey, & Sullivan, 1991).”
Differential effects of age on item and associative measures of memory: a meta-analysis. (2008, background): “Craik (1983, 1986) explained these findings by referring to self-initiated processing, which is required more on recall than on recognition tests.”
Working memory span tasks: A methodological review and user’s guide (2005, methodology): “They tested subjects in a backward digit span task and an alpha span task (Craik, 1986), in addition to reading span and counting span tasks.”
