Age and incidental recall for a simulated everyday memory task.

Full Abstract

We compared intentional learning on an everyday memory task, associate learning of name-face pairs, with Type II incidental recall of the city of residence for each of the name-face pairs. Performance on intentional and incidental learning was significantly associated with age and performance differences begun as early as the fifth decade. Age was more strongly associated with intentional than with incidental learning, and performance on the single incidental recall trial was most similar to the first trial of the intentional learning task.
