摘要: 以172名20-79岁成人为被试对心算加工的年老化过程及其机制进行了研究。任务为连续减法心算,依难度分为5种:1000-1、1000-3、1000-7、1000-13及1000-17。结果表明,年龄与心算难度存在明显的交互作用,且随着年龄增加,不同难度心算效率均以幂函数形式降低。结构方程建模分析发现心算加工年老化过程存在两个中介作用因子,即速度因子和非速度因子,且速度因子对非速度因子存在明显的正效应。

Abstract: A study on menta arithmetic with increasing of age and its mechanism wasaccomplished in 172 normal subjects of from 20 to 79 yeare of age. Five mentalarithmetic tasks, "1000- 1", "1000-3", "1000-7", "1000- 13" , "1000- 17", weredesigned with a serial calculation in which the subjects sequentially subtracted thesame prime number (1, 3, 7, 13, 17) from another number 1000. The results indicatedthat: (1) There was an obvious interaction between age and mental arithmetic, andmental arithmtic efficiency (the ratio of accuracy to RT) decreased in power funtionwith the advancing of age; (2) There were two mediators (latent variables) which wererelative to speed component and non-speed component respectively in the aging processof menta arithmetic, and speed component had significant effect on non-speedcomponent.
