| Annotation | The aim of this study was to determine whether older adults can learn cognitively and attitudinally from a one-time exposure to information presented in an incidental fashion, they can retain this information over a long-term period. A sample of 213 older people were divided into a control group and an experimental group. After listening to a lecture and watching a film on tourism awareness, the experimental group was given an immediate post-test. One month later, these participants were given a delayed post-test to determine if they had retained the information given one month earlier. Findings showed that older adults can learn (cognitively and attitudinally) and retain what they have learned cognitively over a 1-month period. Less noteworthy differences were found in the attitude results across groups. |
