PSYCH 3VV3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Telling Stories, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Theoretical accounts for memory deficits in aging luo and craik (2008) Test phase: fame recognition, told that all studied names were non-famous. Results: old non-famous names feel more familiar. False fame effect larger in older adults compared to younger adults. Older adults are seemed to be more deficient in recollection efficiencies. Study phase: study word lists with associates, ex. bed, awake, pillow, night. Results: unseen prototype for a list likely to be judged old, ex. sleep, prototype illusion is larger in older than younger adults. If you rely on familiarity, then you may misattribute the familiarity to having seen it. Telling stories twice jennings & jacoby (1997) Study phase: given set of words. Results: repeated new words were judged old more often by older than younger adults. Older adults perform more poorly than younger adults to the extent that the memory task loads heavily on recollection of particular prior experiences: false fame, prototype illusion, telling stories twice.
