Abstract

Memory for contextual details (source memory) shows greater age‐related decline than memory for content (item memory). The age‐related deficit in source memory can be traced to declines in executive and associative processes. Age‐related declines in the structural and functional integrity of prefrontal and medial temporal brain regions play a causal role in older adults' source memory deficit, but the size of the deficit is influenced by additional factors, such as memory strategies, emotion, motivation, and cultural processing biases.
