“…Furthermore, it has been found that recognition memory was less often accompanied by a rich recollection of the encoding episode (as assessed by "remember" responses) in older than in younger adults (Clarys, Insingrini, & Gana, 2002;Mäntylä, 1993;Parkin & Walter, 1992;Perfect & Dasgupta, 1997;Perfect, Williams, & Anderson-Brown, 1995, Experiment 1 & 2B). Finally, Bartlett and his colleagues repeatedly found that older adults made more false alarms than younger adults during face recognition (e.g., Bartlett, Strater, & Fulton, 1991;Searcy, Bartlett, & Memon, 1999;Searcy, Bartlett, Memon, & Swanson, 2001) and they reported evidence which suggests that this is due to a tendency for older individuals to rely relatively more on perceived familiarity, and less on recollection of context, in making recognition decisions .…”
