Reducing gist-based false recognition in older adults: Encoding and retrieval manipulations
Article Abstract:
Koutstaal and Schacter (1997) have reported high levels of false recognition of lures related to presented items, using a categorized pictures paradigm. False recognition was higher in older adults. Experiments required participants to undertake careful scrutiny of items at retrieval. False recognition was reduced with each manipulation. False recognition in older adults can be considerably reduced by the use of more stringent decision criteria.

Effects of aging and encoding instructions on emotion-induced memory trade-offs
Article Abstract:
A study was carried out to find the effect of emotion on young and older adults' memories regarding the details of negative arousing episodes in scenes and the context details of those items. Results indicated that aging lessens the flexibility to shift attention from the negative arousing items of a scene and does not allow encoding of nonemotional items in the surroundings.

The role of processing resources in age-related prospective and retrospective memory within old age
