Age-related differences regarding the relationship between false memories and semantic discriminability

Previous research has supported the idea that false memories increase as we age, but semantic ability may enhance memory recollection. This study examined the relationship between a non-semantic memory task and its relationship with semantic discriminability with respect to age.  Results found that OAs have greater memory errors than YAs. This suggests that OAs do have an increase in false memories compared to YAs, especially when looking at non-semantic memory tasks.
