28 younger adults and 28 older adults participated in a study that examined the hypothesis that “older adults’ discrepancies in contextual memory result from difficulties in contending with partial encoding-to-retrieval changes in the context” (Vakil, Hornik, Levy, 2008). Participants in the research had not suffered psychiatric/neurological illness or head trauma that could have caused deficiencies to memory. In order to evaluate the applicant’s ability to regulate partial contextual changes, encoding and retrieval context variables (e.g. unrelated or identical material) were manipulated.
“Participants saw 60 word pairs on a computer screen for 4 seconds each, with each word appearing in a separate window screen, an arrow under the window marked a target word. Participants were given a 5 minute break and were then shown 120 word pairs, when the target words appeared they were to say them aloud and also click the window on the screen” (Vakil, Hornik, Levy, 2008). After testing the individuals the effects and reliability of contextual change on memory recognition of words was measured. Results showed that older participants (in comparison to younger adults) did not click the screen by accident thus making less false apprehensions; however older adults’ recognition of contextual
