As Chapter 13 discussed, researchers admit that we do not yet have a complete explanation for the fact that—on some long-term tasks—elderly 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."
