Variations Stratégiques et Vieillissement Patrick LEMAIRE Master 1 – EAV
Vieillissement et Stratégies • Existe-t-il des variations stratégiques au cours du vieillissement? Si oui, lesquelles? • Ces variations sont-elles déterminantes des différences jeunes-âgés? • Quels sont les facteurs affectant ces variations stratégiques? • Quels sont les mécanismes à la base des variations stratégiques?
No Strat.

Age-related differences in Strategy Repertoire Do young and older adults use the same strategies to accomplish cognitive tasks?
Strategy identification methods Direct approach Indirect approach
Direct approach: Principle Collecting as many external behavioral evidence (verbal reports, video-recordings, direct observ°) of strategies as possible
Direct approach: Example of arithmetic 12 - 9 / 4 - 3 16 - 7 Direct Retrieval Finger Counting Arnaud & Lemaire, 2008 (Cortex)
Two-digit addition problem solving: Use of 9 strategies Lemaire & Arnaud, 2008 (AJP)
Effect of Age on Number of Strat. * Lemaire & Arnaud, 2008 (AJP)
Aging, EF, & Strategy Repertoire -63% -89% -91% Hodzik & Lemaire, 2011
Indirect approach: Principle « The use of multiple strategies is inferred from the patterns of speed and accuracy that arise as a function of the factors that define the stimulus set » (Lemaire & Reder, 1997, p. 365)
Indirect Approach: Example 1 8x5 < 41 vs. 8x5< 47
