Abstract
Predictive reasoning is studied in tasks which presented gender-stereotyped biased content through base rate information about an event in the past, individuating information related to that event and a predictive question with two categorical options. The task were allocated to a sample of older people from a rural and urban habitat, in an individual session with no time limit and controlling gender, stereotyped belief, the order of the sources of information in the task and the congruence/incongruence between them. Results partially confirmed the hypothesis, showing that older participants gave a similar pattern of answers to other ages, by depending on the variations of the task-biased content. The habitat and sources order had an important influence on their final choices. All these data are better explained from a semantic model which interrelates task information than other models which analyse them in an independent way
