Abstract
In this study, we investigated the memory and attention demands of single and sequential picture descriptions. Two hundred forty healthy adults comprised six decade cohorts, 20 through 70. Participants completed memory and attention measures and single and sequential picture descriptions. Of interest was the proportion of main events relayed for two single and two sequential pictures. Results suggest that picture description tasks tax memory and attention skills to a greater degree than has been previously reported. The influence of memory and attention performance was found to vary by stimulus type, cognitive measure, and age.
