Adult age differences in temporal and item memory

Article Abstract:

There were three experiments conducted, which tested whether the relationship between age differences in temporal and item memory depends on the degree to which the item memory measure relies on memory for context. The results showed that age differences in temporal memory could be eliminated after controlling for free recall but not recognition memory performance.

Aging and repetition effects: separate specific and nonspecific influences

Article Abstract:

The research undertaken focuses on processes that contribute to the repetition effect in 2-alternative forced-choice tasks and on how these processes change with age. The results argue against the practice of attributing age differences in repetition effects to deficits in any single cognitive process.

Age related differences in localized attentional interference

Article Abstract:

The effects of aging, on attentional selection of an object in the visual field that degrades processing of neighboring stimuli in young adults, is examined. The results reveal that the older observers loose their ability to attend to multiple spatially proximal stimuli within the visual field.
