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.

Question 2

Which of the following topics would be especially interesting to child psychologists who want to investigate theory of mind?
 
  a. Do children realize that parents can remember a longer list of words than children do?
  b. Which is a more effective memory strategy for 10-year-olds, imagery or organization?
  c. Do children perform better on implicit-memory tasks or explicit-memory tasks?
  d. Can utilization deficit explain children's poor performance on recall tasks?
