“…In particular, they do not prove that the process dissociation model is superior to the source monitoring model. First, his results conform to prior research on aging and source monitoring: Both item and source memory decrease with age (e.g., Bayen & Murnane, 1996;Henkel, Johnson, & Del.eonardis, 1998;Light, Lavoie, Valencia-Laver, Albertson Owens, & Mead, 1992). Thus, there is simply no reason to expect invariance of item and/or source memory throughout age groups.…”
