  • Title: Adult age differences in distinctive processing: the modality effect on false recall.
    Author: Smith RE, Lozito JP, Bayen UJ.
    Journal: Psychol Aging; 2005 Sep; 20(3):486-92. PubMed ID: 16248707.
    Abstract:
    Age differences in distinctive processing were investigated by examining the effects of study presentation modality on false recall in younger and older adults using the Deese/Roediger and McDermott paradigm. Participants were presented with study words either visually or auditorily. Older adults did not show the typical reduction in false recall after visual, compared to auditory, study presentation (R.E. Smith & R.R. Hunt, 1998). The authors interpret these results as evidence of reduced distinctive processing on the part of older adults.
