The results of Experiments 1 and 2 suggest that elevated rates of lure false recognition with age arise as a result of contributions of both reductions in the availability of object details with age, and impairments in the ability to carry out strategic retrieval processes. However, existing work suggests that these factors may not be affected to a similar degree across older adults (Davidson & Glisky, 2002; Glisky, Rubin, & Davidson, 2001; Migo et al., 2014; Toner et al., 2009). Thus, it may be the case that individual differences in the availability of object details and the ability to execute strategic retrieval processes will impact the susceptibility to false recognition across older adults. Furthermore, if the Forced Choice and Yes/No test formats are differentially sensitive to each of these factors, as suggested by prior work (Guerin et al., 2012; Migo et al., 2009, 2014; Norman, 2010), individual variability in these measures may differentially impact performance in each test format. To investigate these possibilities, we explored the relationship between individual differences in strategic retrieval processes and the availability of object details in relation to older adults’ performance across test formats.
