The ageist attitudes of students represent an obstacle to the development of the knowledge and empathy required for assisting the elderly. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in explicit/implicit attitudes and knowledge regarding older people, in a sample of psychology students before and after they carried out a practical task called "Observing the Older Adult" (TOAM). To this end, we evaluated the changes in explicit knowledge with Palmore's Facts on Aging Quizzes 1 and 2 (FAQs1-2); the changes in explicit attitudes with Kogan's Scale for Attitudes Toward Old People (SATOP); and the Age Group Evaluation and Description (AGED) Inventory. The subsequent changes in implicit attitudes were evaluated with the Implicit Association Test (IAT). The changes were measured one week, three months, one year and two years after completing the TOAM with ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. After the TOAM was carried out, positive changes were observed in knowledge and explicit attitudes toward seniors, but implicit attitudes remained negative in the first assessment, and were modified only after a year. Las actitudes ageístas de los estudiantes representan un obstáculo para el desarrollo de conocimientos y la empatía requeridas para asistir a las personas mayores. El objetivo que persigue este trabajo es evaluar los cambios en actitudes explícitas e implícitas y en conocimientos sobre personas mayores en una muestra de estudiantes de Psicología, antes y después de llevar a cabo una tarea práctica denominada “Trabajo de observación del adulto mayor” (TOAM). Para ello, se evaluaron los cambios en los conocimientos explícitos mediante el Palmore’s Facts on Ageing Quizzes 1 y 2 (FAQs1-2), las modificaciones en las actitudes explícitas mediante la Kogan’s Scale for Attitudes toward Old People (SATOP) y el Age Group Evaluation and Description (AGED) Inventory (AGED). Las modificaciones en actitudes implícitas posteriores se evaluaron con un Test de Asociación Implícita (TAI). Los cambios se midieron una semana, tres meses, un año y dos años después de completar el TOAM con test de ANOVA, U de Mann-Whitney y Kruskall-Wallis Después de realizar el TOAM se observaron cambios positivos en conocimientos y actitudes explícitas hacia las personas mayores, pero las actitudes implícitas permanecieron negativas en las primeras evaluaciones y solamente se modificaron después del año.
