Episodic memory declines with older age, but it is unresolved whether this decline reflects
reduced probability of successfully retrieving information from memory, or decreased …

In the first section of this chapter, the authors review empirical findings regarding age-related
differences in several domains of memory performance, distinguishing between short-and …

Functional neuroimaging investigations have revealed a range of age-related differences in
the neural correlates of episodic memory retrieval. Typically, whereas activity is reduced in …

We investigated age-related differences in episodic retrieval using a source memory
procedure. Age-related differences in retrieval-related activity were analyzed in conditions …

(Park et al., 1996, 2002; Salthouse & Babcock, 1991), demonstrating the utility of these
constructs for understanding long-term memory. In contrast to resource-based theories of …

We used fMRI to assess the neural correlates of autobiographical, semantic, and episodic
memory retrieval in healthy young and older adults. Participants were tested with an event …

Declines in episodic memory in older adults are typically attributed to differences in
encoding strategies and/or retrieval processes. These views omit a critical factor in age …

Some memories about events can persist for decades, even a lifetime. However, recent
memories incorporate rich sensory information, including knowledge on the spatial and …

Background: While laboratory tests indicate that older adults typically perform more poorly
than do younger adults on many types of memory tasks, the question arises as to whether, or …

Decline in episodic memory, the encoding and retrieval of autobiographical events, is a
hallmark of normal cognitive aging. Although the primary causes of this decline remain …
