Description

Panagiotis Iliopoulos and co-authors present a 2025 study of an eight week memory training course for older adults. Aging dulls the skill of telling a near twin item from one seen before, a skill sound memory leans on. Whether drill can sharpen it, and spread to new item kinds, was open.

A pool of 112 adults, mean age near 68, trained online in three arms: object drill, scene drill, and an active control. The task grows in set size as weeks pass, with twin lures mixed among repeats. Pre and post tests gauged the target skill and its spread. Gains in telling lures apart showed after training, with near spread from objects to scenes. The work maps how far drill gains travel.
