“…Older adults have also demonstrated poor eyewitness identification and poor memory for source information relative to younger adults, which may be indicative of a general impairment in binding, in forming relations among distinct objects, or in forming relations between an object and a context (e.g., Hashtroudi, Johnson, & Chrosniak, 1989;Multhaup, de Leonardis, & Johnson, 1999;Schacter, Koutstaal, Johnson, Gross, & Angell, 1997). Binding of between-object relations would thus appear to be compromised in older adults.…”

Age-related memory deficits may result from attending to too much information (inhibition deficit) and/or storing too little information (binding deficit). The present study evaluated the inhibition and binding accounts by exploiting a situation in which deficits of inhibition should benefit relational memory binding. Older adults directed more viewing toward abrupt onsets in scenes compared with younger adults under instructions to ignore any such onsets, providing evidence for age-related inhibitory deficits, which were ameliorated with additional practice. Subsequently, objects that served as abrupt onsets underwent changes in their spatial relations. Despite successful inhibition of the onsets, eye movements of younger adults were attracted to manipulated objects. In contrast, the eye movements of older adults, who directed more viewing to the late onsets compared with younger adults, were not attracted toward manipulated regions. Similar differences between younger and older adults in viewing of manipulated regions were observed under free viewing conditions. These findings provide evidence for concurrent inhibition and binding deficits in older adults and demonstrate that age-related declines in inhibitory processing do not lead to enhanced relational memory for extraneous information.

“…Older adults have also shown robust suggestibility in eyewitness misinformation studies (e.g., Multhaup, De Leonardis, & Johnson, 1999), in which subjects are exposed to an original event in the laboratory (e.g., a slide show) and then misled about that event. When tested later on the original event, subjects produce or choose the misinformation at higher rates than baseline.…”

Healthy younger and older adults and individuals with very mild or mild dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) listened to and read fictional stories containing correct and incorrect facts about the world. Of interest was their use of this story information to answer questions on a later test of general world knowledge. Prior exposure to relatively well-known facts boosted all subjects' ability to correctly answer general knowledge questions. Reading incorrect facts in the stories led to misinformation effects in healthy older adults (although these effects were smaller than those observed in younger adults). DAT individuals showed reduced effects of story exposure; effects were greatest in a situation that reminded DAT individuals that the stories might provide the answers to the questions. Benefits of story reading depended on activation of the semantic network, whereas costs of story reading were more dependent on episodic memory processes.
