“…It has been assumed that both familiarity and recollection can independently support item memory, whereas only recollection can support associative memory for which the context or source details associated with the item are consciously retrieved (Wilding, 2000;Woodruff, Johnson, Uncapher, & Rugg, 2005;Rugg, Schloerscheidt, & Mark, 1998; see Diana, Yonelinas, & Ranganath, 2007;Rugg & Yonelinas, 2003 for reviews). The increased age differences in associative memory relative to item memory have been attributed to impaired recollection, despite having a relatively preserved familiarity in older adults (Cohn, Emrich, & Moscovitch, 2008;Daselaar, Fleck, Dobbins, Madden, & Cabeza, 2006;Friedman, 2013;Howard, Bessette-Symons, Zhang, & Hoyer, 2006;Koen & Yonelinas 2014;Yonelinas, 2002; but see Wang, de Chastelaine, Minton, & Rugg, 2012).…”
