“…Many animals, ranging from worms to humans, show a decline in cognitive function with increasing chronological age (Marriott and Abelson, 1980;Grotewiel et al, 2005;Mell et al, 2005;Murakami and Murakami, 2005;Yu et al, 2006;Soei and Daum, 2008;Woodruff-Pak et al, 2008). In contrast to most animal species, honeybees normally show a strong relationship between chronological age and social role.…”

SUMMARYAging is commonly accompanied by a decline in cognitive functions such as learning and memory. In social insects, aging is tightly linked to social role. The honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) offers the unique opportunity to separate chronological age from social role. In the present paper, we tested whether chronological age, social role and the duration of performing this role affect tactile learning in honeybees. We compared acquisition, retention and discrimination between foragers with short and long foraging durations and age-matched nurse bees. Our data show that chronological age is of minor importance for tactile learning, retention and discrimination whereas social role has a decisive impact. Tactile acquisition is severely impaired in bees that have foraged for more than two weeks but not in nurse bees of the same chronological age. Interestingly, neither discrimination nor retention appear to be impaired by long foraging duration. The complex associations between acquisition, discrimination and retention in bees of different social roles open up rich possibilities for future studies on the neuronal correlates of behavioural performance and underline that the honeybee has great potential as a model system in the biology of aging.

“…Prior piloting (with a different subject sample of n = 12) ensured that half of those stimuli led to comparable behavioural performance when displayed from an inverted view as well as from left‐ and rightward mirrored views. Extending the procedure applied by Soei & Daum (2008), those 60 objects were allocated to the NRM task for each participant and the remainder to the RM task.…”

The dissociability of novelty detection in relational (RM) and non-relational memory (NRM) is currently under debate. To further address the time courses and underlying brain correlates of novelty detection, event-related potentials (ERPs) were analysed for encoding and retrieval on three memory tasks in healthy subjects. Spatial and non-spatial RM as well as NRM were assessed separately. The ERPs related to RM and NRM were dissociable for hits and correct rejections in an early and late time window. An early old/new effect was observed for NRM. A late old/new effect replicated the frequently reported recollection-associated old/new effect in terms of direction and amplitudes. Four different novelty types (spatial relational, non-spatial relational, horizontal non-relational and inverted non-relational) were examined. The P3a related to novelty detection differed in horizontal vs. inverted distractors in NRM, but not in spatial vs. non-spatial RM. ERPs for repetition detection (hits during retrieval) and also for subsequent hits (encoding phase) differed between RM and NRM. These findings are discussed in relation to potential brain correlates in RM and NRM during encoding and retrieval.

“…OLM performance decrements in older adults have been repeatedly demonstrated (for reviews see Postma, 2006 andUttl &Graf, 1993;Noack, Lövdén, Schmiedek, & Lindenberger, 2013). More importantly, memory for objects and memory for locations are relatively mildly impaired in old age, but profound memory deficits arise for object-location associations (Kessels, Hobbels, & Postma, 2007;Naveh-Benjamin, 1987;1988;Old & Naveh-Benjamin, 2008; but see Soei & Daum, 2008). Besides, OLM is particularly suitable for a process-based training approach because it solely involves visuo-spatial material.…”

A substantial part of age-related episodic memory decline has been attributed to the decreasing ability of older adults to encode and retrieve associations among simultaneously processed information units from long-term memory. In addition, this ability seems to share unique variance with reasoning. In this study, we therefore examined whether process-based training of the ability to learn and remember associations has the potential to induce transfer effects to untrained episodic memory and reasoning tasks in healthy older adults (60–75 years). For this purpose, the experimental group (n = 36) completed 30 sessions of process-based object-location memory training, while the active control group (n = 31) practiced visual perception on the same material. Near (spatial episodic memory), intermediate (verbal episodic memory), and far transfer effects (reasoning) were each assessed with multiple tasks at four measurements (before, midway through, immediately after, and 4 months after training). Linear mixed-effects models revealed transfer effects on spatial episodic memory and reasoning that were still observed 4 months after training. These results provide first empirical evidence that process-based training can enhance healthy older adults’ associative memory performance and positively affect untrained episodic memory and reasoning abilities.
