Aging and Encoding in Memory: False Alarms and Decision Criteria in a Word-Pair Recognition Task.
Isingrini, Michel; And Others
International Journal of Aging & Human Development, v41 n1 p79-88 1995
Employed false alarm recognition procedure with learning of highly associated word pairs to examine age-related deficit in distinctiveness of encoding. Found support for hypothesis of failure with age to encode target items in sufficiently elaborate or distinctive fashion. Data on older-older respondents suggest encoding deficit gets worse in old age. (JBJ)
