Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test competing models of declarative memory. Data
from middle-aged participants provided support for a model comprised of 2 2nd-order …

Five-year changes in episodic and semantic memory were examined in a sample of 829
participants (35-80 years). A cohort-matched sample (N= 967) was assessed to control for …

Two experiments investigated adult age differences in episodic and semantic long-term
memory tasks, as a test of the hypothesis of specific age-related decline in context memory …

Two experiments were performed to investigate the effects of prior knowledge on recognition
memory in young adults, younger old adults, 76-year-olds, and 85-year-olds. In Experiment …

Tested 64 males and females in their 20s and 60s, with high school and doctoral-level
educations, on a variety of memory tasks. There were sizable age decrements in word recall …

The present research tested Tulving's (1985) ternary memory theory. Young (ages 19–32)
and older (ages 63–80) adults were given procedural, semantic, and episodic memory …

The notion that older adults fail to use optimal encoding strategies in memory tasks because
of a deficit in memory monitoring was examined in a cued recall task. Participants were …

Structural stability and change in semantic and episodic memory performance as well as
interindividual differences in 5-year changes in these constructs are examined within a …

This study examined age differences in episodic memory, semantic memory, and priming
using a random sample of 1,000 men and women from 10 age groups (35, 40, 45,… 80 …

In this meta-analysis, the authors evaluated recent suggestions that older adults' episodic
memory impairments are partially due to a reduced ability to encode and retrieve …
