Older adults were slower to find learning strategies

In a four-phase experiment with 60 younger and 59 older adults, increasingly explicit information improved learning and strategy use in both groups.In a four-phase experiment with 60 younger and 59 older adults, increasingly explicit information improved learning and strategy use in both groups.
