| Annotation | Looking at photographs constitutes an important everyday memory activity for older adults. The authors found that reviewing photographs of events seen earlier in a video increases the likelihood that both older and younger adults remember specific details from the reviewed event. The authors report on two experiments, demonstrating that photo review can also produce false recollection in older adults. After reviewing photographs of events that had not previously been shown earlier in a video, older but not younger adults were more likely to 'remember' that those events had been shown in the video. False recollection induced by photo review appears to reflect an age-related deficit in source-monitoring abilities. |
