Age-related binding deficits and the content of false memories
Article Abstract:
The effects of age-related binding deficits on feature information in false memories for imagined objects that were similar in shape to seen objects is examined. In the first experiment, location memory for seen objects was lower in older than younger adults and lower still in old-old than young-old adults and in the second experiment for younger adults displaying seen objects for less time ( 1 s vs 4 s) reduced both location memory for seen objects and congruent attributions for false memories.

Aging and single versus multiple cues in source monitoring
Article Abstract:
One characteristic of aging is a decline in the ability to identify the source of a piece of information. This cognitive ability is also further disrupted when the person cannot distinguish between sources because of similarities in perceptual cues. The source monitoring ability of older adults were compared with younger adults to older adults, which revealed that younger adults could use both perceptual and cognitive cues to establish the source of a memory.
