Informed Consent: Does Position of Information Have an Effect upon What Elderly People in Long-Term Care Remember?.
Educational Gerontology 1991;
17(1): 11-19. Seventy elderly people in a long-term care facility volunteered to participate in a study to assess their comprehension of both high- and low-risk clinical vignettes. For high risk vignettes, subjects tended to remember more information from the beginning of the vignette than from later segments. Primacy and recency effects were observed in the comprehension of the low-risk vignettes, with comprehension being greater for information contained in the beginning and at the end of the vignette.
