False memories: young and older adults think of semantic associates at the same rate, but young adults are more successful at source monitoring
Article Abstract:
A study regarding whether higher vulnerability to false memories in the DRM (J.Deese, 1959; H.L.Roediger and K.B. McDermott, 1995) paradigm in older adults as compared to younger reflects a deficit in source monitoring, is discussed. The older adults face difficulty later to identify the source of information, activated because of intact semantic activation processes.

Article Abstract:
Research was done on the consequences of perceived age discrimination for well-being and group identification. In conclusion, young adults revealed that these relationships were absent but it was found that the differences in responses in totality to discrimination appear to be based on opportunities for leaving a low status group.

An associative memory deficit of older adults: further support using face-name associations
Article Abstract:
Young and old participants studied name-face pairs and were then tested on their recognition memory for the names, faces, and the name-face pairs. A deficit in attentional resources does not seem to be the sole mediator of the associative deficit shown by older adults.
