Abstract
Clinicians sometimes worry that the administration of intentional memory tests early in a clinical battery might artificially enhance performance on subsequent incidental memory tests, with possible differential effects for younger vs. older adults. Eight-one healthy adults (ages 30-80) were blindly assigned to 1 of 2 testing conditions (incidental followed by intentional and vice versa). Contrary to the concerns of some, administration of intentional tests prior to incidental tests did not affect performance on any measures, and there was no interaction with age. Order of administration did not affect performance in older or younger adults.
