“…Previous research in which relative proportions of information recalled from thematic levels have been examined has revealed that the recalled information is relatively well structured for both younger and older adults (e.g., Dixon & Gould, 1998;Stine, Soederberg, & Morrow, 1996). The present youngold and mid-old adults produced nearly identical profiles of recall across levels of information at both occasions.…”

“…Another way that may improve their memory is through collaboration between them and their caregivers by having them complete the memory task in pairs. For instance, Dixon and Gould [78] found that the presence of collaborators could enhance episodic memory performance of both younger and older adults, particularly when the collaboration was within long-term married couples. By looking into the metacognition of collaboration, these researchers suggested that with extensive experiences as a collaborative group, older married couple showed relatively higher memory confidence or self-efficacy, which led to greater and more efficient memory processing.…”

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been largely characterized by severe deterioration of cognitive functioning. Only recently has more attention been shifted to identifying the preserved capacity and functioning of AD patients. By reviewing the AD literature, we observe that despite the various cognitive impairment and deficits, early Alzheimer's patients perform certain types of automatic emotion regulation and display a positivity effect in emotion recognition and emotional memory. Moreover, we argue that, like their healthy aged peers, the optimization of such preserved emotion-based capacities helps early AD patients increase positive emotions, which may counteract the negative effects of the disease, thus maintaining their socio-emotional functioning. Finally, we discuss the emotion-based capacities strategies that AD patients may use to facilitate their adjustment to a life with Alzheimer's.

“…This paradigm specifically targets dyadic cognitive performance outcomes by investigating how older spouses perform on tasks together as a team. Results from laboratory studies concerning spousal collaboration and cooperation on a variety of cognitive tasks speak to the potential of collaboration for older spouses' joint performance outcomes such as increasing story recall and reducing false memories [56,57] . Importantly, these results further provide evidence that older spouses who collaborate on cognitive tasks achieve better joint outcomes as compared to individual performance or when collaborating with a same-age stranger [56,58] .…”

We review findings on spousal interrelations in old age in such key domains as cognition, well-being, and health. Therein, we demonstrate that spousal interrelations may extend developmental options but may also make an individual vulnerable to the experience of loss. We address theoretical questions concerning possible underlying mechanisms, e.g. individual and spousal goal-related processes. Furthermore, we draw attention to important methodological challenges such as identifying processes that operate along different time scales and employing adequate data analytic tools. We propose that aging research may benefit from an examination of interrelations in developmental pathways of multiple co-developing individuals such as spouses and point to the need to disentangle individual from relationship-specific effects.
