Memory fidelity in healthy ageing and risk for cognitive decline

H Gellersen - 2022 - repository.cam.ac.uk
Memory decline is characteristic of cognitive ageing and it has been suggested that one
important factor underpinning the magnitude of age deficits is a reduction in the fidelity or …

[HTML][HTML] Age impairs mnemonic discrimination of objects more than scenes: A web-based, large-scale approach across the lifespan

J Güsten, G Ziegler, E Düzel, D Berron - Cortex, 2021 - Elsevier
Recent findings suggest that the effect of aging on recognition memory is modality-
dependent, affecting memory for objects and scenes differently. However, the lifespan …

[HTML][HTML] Brain characteristics of memory decline and stability in aging: Contributions from longitudinal observations

S Pudas - 2013 - diva-portal.org
Aging is typically associated with declining mental abilities, most prominent for some forms
of memory. There are, however, large inter-individual differences within the older population …

Sensory representations supporting memory specificity: Age effects on behavioral and neural discriminability

CR Bowman, JD Chamberlain… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Older adults' difficulty in distinguishing between old and new information contributes to

Aging impacts memory for perceptual, but not narrative, event details

AI Delarazan, C Ranganath, ZM Reagh - Learning & Memory, 2023 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Memory is well known to decline over the course of healthy aging. However, memory is not a
monolith and draws from different kinds of representations. Historically, much of our …

Domain general processes moderate age-related performance differences on the mnemonic similarity task

CM Foster, KS Giovanello - Memory, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Several prominent domain general theories (eg, processing speed and inhibitory function)
have been developed to explain cognitive changes associated with aging. A bias to “pattern …
