Older adults had more difficulty than did younger adults when discriminating between memories in both versions of the task. In addition, older adults with Alzheimer\u2019s-type dementia showed marked difficulties when attributing a source to imagined actions. The authors interpret these findings in terms of an age difficulty or the failure to use cognitive operations as useful cues during source monitoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J Gen Psychol. 2009 Jan;136:21\u201339. doi: 10.3200\/GENP.136.1.21\u201340.
