“…It has been argued that inhibition is needed to suppress previously, but no longer, relevant items from working memory so as to minimize interference within these tasks (Friedman & Miyake, 2004;Hasher et al, 1999;Kane, Conway, Hambrick, & Engle, 2007). Furthermore, numerous studies suggest that the ability to delete previously attended information shows a marked decline with age, as older adults' performance on these tasks is greatly improved by conditions that minimize the build-up of proactive interference (e.g., Lustig, May, & Hasher, 2001;May et al, 1999;Rowe, Hasher, & Turcotte, 2008Sahakyan, Delaney, & Goodmon, 2008).…”
