Resumen
El presente trabajo es una actualización del metaanálisis realizado por Verhaeghen y De Meersman1, dada la inconsistencia encontrada en sus resultados. Se incluyeron en los análisis todos los trabajos sobre diferencias en priming negativo y edad: los trabajos incluidos por Verhaeghen y De Meersman hasta 1997 (21 de identificación y 8 de localización) y los nuevos hasta la actualidad (con un total de 33 de identificación y 8 de localización). Los resultados señalan la inexistencia de diferencias entre los dos grupos de edad (jóvenes y personas mayores) en el efecto de priming negativo (tanto en priming negativo de identificación como en priming negativo de localización), lo que parece resolver la ambigüedad de las conclusiones anteriores. Se discuten las implicaciones teóricas sobre la posible presencia/ausencia de un déficit inhibitorio asociado con la edad, medido a través del efecto de priming negativo.

Abstract
The present article provides an update of the meta-analysis by Verhaeghen and De Meersman1 with the aim of clarifying the inconsistencies found in their results. We included all studies on differences in negative priming and aging in the analysis: the studies published up to 1997 included by Verhaeghen and De Meersman (21 on identity and 8 on location) and new studies published to date (total: 33 on identity and 8 on location). The results showed no differences between the two age groups (young and older adults) in the negative priming effect (either identity or location negative priming), which seems to resolve the ambiguity of previous conclusions. The theoretical implications of the presence or absence of an inhibitory deficit associated with aging and measured by the negative priming effect are discussed.
