Question 2

Your textbook compares prospective memory in younger adults and older adults. The research typically shows that elderly adults

  b. make fewer prospective-memory errors, probably because retired adults do not need to remember so many work-related responsibilities.
  c. make more prospective-memory errors, probably because this kind of memory task is mostly based on working memory, and elderly people often have trouble with working memory.
  d. make more prospective-memory errors, probably because this kind of task is mostly based on implicit memory, and elderly people often have trouble with implicit memory.
