As Chapter 13 discussed, researchers admit that we do not yet have a complete explanation for the fact thaton some long-term taskselderly adults remember less than young adults.
However, which of the following students provides the best summary of one factor that accounts for age-related differences?
a. Sergei: Elderly adults remember contextual cues better than young adults, and these cues tend to disrupt performance on explicit recall tasks.
b. Isabelle: Elderly adults typically fail to use long-term memory strategies based on organization and imagery; as a result, information often cannot be retained in long-term memory.
c. Mandy: Elderly adults are more likely than young adults to have difficulty paying attention, which can affect performance on memory tasks.
d. Christopher: Elderly adults are much too confident about their memory skills, so they actually spend less time rehearsing the material.
