Abstract
A long term retention study of a numerical judgement task was performed to investigate the retention of a learned skill search task for younger and older adults. Participants were trained in either consistent search or varied search conditions. Younger and older adults showed similar patterns of skill acquisition. The retention study was carried out to determine if the learning was equally well retained across time. Participants performed 720 trials of the numerical judgement task after 60 days of completing the initial study. Both age groups showed a high level of retention after this period compared to the final levels of performance during training.
