What Rests on This
3 mechanisms cite this source. Each finding below is quoted as it appears on that mechanism's own page.
Episodic Memory Memory Systems
-
Measured in humans
Pooling 90 studies with 3,197 younger and 3,192 older adults, a meta-analysis found age effects larger for associative memory (source, context, temporal order, spatial location, and item pairings) than for memory of the items themselves
Temporal Placement Memory Processes
-
Measured in humans
A meta-analysis of 90 studies (3,197 younger and 3,192 older adults) found that memory for temporal order, like memory for source and spatial location, declines more with age than memory for the items themselves
Source Monitoring Metacognition
-
Measured in humans
A meta-analysis of 90 studies (3,197 younger and 3,192 older adults) found that age impairs memory for source and other associative information more than memory for the items themselves, especially under intentional learning
