Adult age differences in distinctive processing: The modality effect on false recall

Article Abstract:

Age differences in distinctive processing are investigated by examining the effects of study presentation modality on false recall in younger and older adults using Deese /Roediger and McDermott paradigm, Older adults did not show the modality effect, which suggests that they have difficulty relative to younger adults with distinctive processing.

Aging and conditional probability judgments: A global matching approach

Interference effects from divided attention during retrieval in younger and older adults

Article Abstract:

A study was done to examine how retrieval, under divided attention (DA) conditions, is affected by the type of material in a concurrent task, and whether aging produces larger interference effect on memory. The findings supported the component-process model of memory, and pose problems for resource model of interference from DA at retrieval.
