In support of these predictions, we identified age-related deficits in Forced Choice performance, as well as evidence that reducing the number of objects viewed by participants can enhance performance in this test format, perhaps by reducing interference from features shared across objects. Furthermore, we identified a relationship between performance in a perceptual discrimination task and Forced Choice performance. This finding provides novel evidence for an association between complex perception and memory ability among older adults, lending support to the proposal that common representations support memory and perception. Finally, although we did not obtain direct measures of PRC structure or function in the present experiment, the current results are nevertheless consistent with the possibility that performance in the perceptual discrimination task and Forced Choice test necessitate object-level representations supported by PRC. In particular, performance in the perceptual discrimination task used here has been linked to PRC recruitment among older adults using fMRI (Ryan et al., 2012), and is impaired in patients with compromised PRC integrity (Barense et al., 2012; Newsome et al., 2012). These findings raise the possibility that our measure of representational quality is sensitive to PRC function.
