We provide a comprehensive review describing research on the qualitative representational nature of older adults' episodic memories. Our review considers several broad theoretical frameworks and decades of research converging on a universal principle of adult aging: Episodic memory in older adulthood is characterized as being less specific in nature than in younger adulthood. Going beyond earlier specific reviews on related topics in the false memory, neuroscience, and reading comprehension literatures, our review synthesizes findings from these fields with more recent research from the precision literature, along with several new studies on age differences in the specificity of associative aspects of episodic memory, where age deficits have long been reported. We also sketch a new theoretical framework as inspiration for future research that can better elucidate the mechanisms underpinning age differences in the specificity of memory representations, including reduced attentional resources and slower speed of processing.

我们提供了一篇全面的综述，描述了关于老年人情景记忆的定性表征性质的研究。我们的综述考虑了几个广泛的理论框架以及数十年来汇聚于成人衰老普遍原则的研究：成年后期的情景记忆在本质上不如成年早期具体。超越了早期关于错误记忆、神经科学和阅读理解文献中相关主题的具体综述，我们的综述将这些领域的研究结果与精准文献中的最新研究相结合，同时还有几项关于情景记忆联想方面特异性的年龄差异的新研究，长期以来人们一直报告存在年龄缺陷。我们还勾勒了一个新的理论框架，作为未来研究的灵感，以更好地阐明记忆表征特异性方面年龄差异的潜在机制，包括注意力资源减少和处理速度减慢。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
