PSYCH 3VV3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Concrete Masonry Unit, Spatial Memory, Frontal Lobe
Document Summary
Older adults encode but not always use perceptual details. Intentional versus unintentional effects of detail on memory judgements. Present similar items: two different keys that look a bit similar. This procedure can be used to study false memory. Study: 120 items, size/judgement task, larger than a 13 inch box? , verify this! Identical recognition: meaning recognition, answer you give changes based on function of task, with 3 item types, same exemplars, different exemplars, new exemplars. Older adults do appear to encode perceptual detail. Large false memory effects in older adults may reflect inappropriate use of perceptual detail at the time of retrieval. Older and younger adults may differ in how they make use of encoded detail. Effects of frontal lobe functioning and age on veridical and false recall. Older adults are more likely to make false memory judgements. Glisky battery drm protocol compare.
