Abstract
Abstract
The present chapter provides a review of the literature addressing changes in memory performance in older adults (often retired individuals with an age between 60 and 80 years), compared to younger adults (often college students around age 20). While it is well established that memory performance declines in older adults (e.g., Kusler, 1994; Ryan, 1992), it is now clear that not all aspects of memory are impaired (e.g., Balota & Duchek, 1988; Burke & Light, 1981; Craik, 1983; Schacter, Kihlstrom, Kaszniak, & Valdiserri, 1993; Shimamura, 1989). Dissociations across age groups with respect to impairments in different memory types or processes have provided (1) insights into the influence of aging on neuropsychological underpinnings of memory, and (2) leverage for memory theorists to develop a better understanding of normal memory functioning.
