Article Synopsis
- Age-related memory deficits are less pronounced for information that individuals have prior experience with, but findings on word frequency's impact on memory in older adults are mixed.
- A study with young and older adults revealed that older individuals had a smaller decline in memory recall for longer lists of low-frequency words compared to high-frequency words.
- Results also showed that older adults performed worse on associative memory tasks than on item memory tasks, indicating a specific age-related associative deficit that isn't influenced by word frequency.
