A decomposition of age-related differences in multitrial free recall
TL;DR: The relative roles of acquisition and forgetting in mediating age-related differences in multitrial learning were evaluated by having 258 adults (18 to 94 years of age) complete five study and free-recall test trials of 15 words as discussed by the authors.
Attentional Blocks Are Not Responsible for Age-Related Slowing
TL;DR: Results imply that age-related slowing is associated with a shift (and expansion) in the entire RT distribution, and is not attributable to a selective influence on the individual's slowest responses.
Do Age-Related Increases in Tip-of-the-Tongue Experiences Signify Episodic Memory Impairments?
TL;DR: In a sample of adults, increased age was found to be associated with more TOTs across different types of materials, and additional analyses suggested that these relations between age and TOT frequency were not attributable to the use of different response criteria or to different amounts of knowledge.
Differential Age-Related Influences on Memory for Verbal-Symbolic Information and Visual-Spatial Information?
TL;DR: Analytical procedures used to determine whether there were selective age-related effects on measures reflecting spatial information processing compared to those reflecting verbal-symbolic information processing provided little support for this hypothesis, but results were consistent with the existence of a common age- related factor that contributes to the age differences in many cognitive measures.
Natural and constrained language production as a function of age and cognitive abilities.
TL;DR: Age-related differences in controlled and naturalistic elicited language production tasks were examined within the context of a reference battery of cognitive abilities in a moderately large sample of individuals aged 18–90 to provide support for age-related increases in lexical sophistication and diversity at the discourse level, and declines in grammatical complexity in controlledand naturalistic contexts.
