TABLE 3.

Proportional error rates by age group and experiment

	Misses				False alarms
	Younger		Older		Younger		Older
Experiment	M	SD	M	SD	M	SD	M	SD
1	.025	.014	.028	.019	.020	.018	.018	.013
2	.030	.025	.017	.012	.010	.011	.013	.011
3	.023	.022	.012	.009	.015	.013	.014	.020

Note: Using a Bonferroni corrected alpha level of .025 for each experiment, no age differences in either misses or false alarms were observed for any of the three experiments.
