ABSTRACT
Research on memory and aging focuses on (a) processes through (and levels at) which individuals recall previously experienced events and information, (b) the timing, extent, and variability with which these processes and associated performances differ and change with aging, and (c) the conditions and factors that control, predict, or modulate these differences and changes dynamically and interactively throughout adulthood. Decades of research have produced numerous provocative and robust findings, but also an ever widening purview and increasingly integrative perspective on the phenomena of memory changes with aging (see Cabeza, Nyberg, & Park, 2004; Craik & Salthouse, 2008; Dixon, Bäckman, & Nilsson, 2004; Zacks, Hasher, & Li, 2006).
