Autobiographical event memory and aging: Older adults get the gist

MD Grilli, S Sheldon - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2022 - cell.com
We propose that older adults' ability to retrieve episodic autobiographical events, although
often viewed through a lens of decline, reveals much about what is preserved and prioritized …

Contributions of representational distinctiveness and stability to memory performance and age differences

VR Sommer, MC Sander - Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Long-standing theories of cognitive aging suggest that memory decline is associated with
age-related differences in the way information is neurally represented. Multivariate pattern …

Effects of aging on successful object encoding: enhanced semantic representations compensate for impaired visual representations

L Naspi, C Stensholt, AE Karlsson… - Journal of …, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Although episodic memory and visual processing decline substantially with healthy aging,
semantic knowledge is generally spared. There is evidence that older adults9 spared …

Low-resolution neurocognitive aging and cognition: An embodied perspective

J Mille, SM Brambati, M Izaute… - Frontiers in Systems …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Consistent with embodied cognition, a growing evidence in young adults show that

Age differences in neural distinctiveness during memory encoding, retrieval, and reinstatement

C Pauley, M Kobelt, M Werkle-Bergner… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Robust evidence points to mnemonic deficits in older adults related to dedifferentiated, ie

Age-related differences in encoding-retrieval similarity and their relationship to false memory

JD Chamberlain, CR Bowman, NA Dennis - Neurobiology of Aging, 2022 - Elsevier
Typical aging is associated with increases in false memory rates among older adults. Such
errors are frequently associated with differential neural activity during encoding and retrieval …

Dissociative effects of age on neural differentiation at the category and item levels

S Srokova, ANZ Aktas, JD Koen… - Journal of …, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Increasing age is associated with age-related neural dedifferentiation, a reduction in the
selectivity of neural representations, which has been proposed to contribute to cognitive …

Mnemonic but not contextual feedback signals defy dedifferentiation in the aging early visual cortex

I Ehrlich, J Ortiz-Tudela, YY Tan, L Muckli… - Journal of …, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Perception is an intricate interplay between feedforward visual input and internally
generated feedback signals that comprise concurrent contextual and time-distant mnemonic …

Age-related neural dedifferentiation for individual stimuli: An across-participant pattern similarity analysis

JD Koen - Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Age-related neural dedifferentiation–reductions in the regional specificity and precision of
neural representations–is proposed to compromise the ability of older adults to form …

Neural mechanisms of perceiving and subsequently recollecting emotional facial expressions in young and older adults

R Izumika, R Cabeza, T Tsukiura - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2022 - direct.mit.edu
It is known that emotional facial expressions modulate the perception and subsequent
recollection of faces and that aging alters these modulatory effects. Yet, the underlying …
