Study Description

All participants are community-dwelling older adults residing in Hong Kong. They are invited to review their social participation profile and given a brief psycho-education about memory.

They are then randomly allocated to one of the two following conditions. Participants are primed either with age stereotypes or non-age stereotypes words by implicit priming intervention in the context of a reaction task prior to the episodic memory tasks. Other measures such as demographic variables and social participation rate are collected by questionnaire during the delayed recall interval.
