Age Differences in Autobiographical Memory Specificity: It’s Not Just About Cognition Lisa Emery & Meagan Griffin Reprints may be obtained at agelabs.appstate.edu METHOD INTRODUCTION REFERENCES CONCLUSIONS & FUTURE DIRECTIONS Age Verbal Paired Associates Active Coping Memory Specificity Previous research has found that older adults have reduced specificity of autobiographical memory, a finding that has primarily been attributed to age differences in associative memory and/or executive function (e.g., Addis, Wong, & Schacter, 2008; Piolino et al. 2010). Research in the clinical psychology literature, however, suggests that reduced autobiographical memory specificity can also result from emotion regulation strategies such as functional avoidance (Williams et al., 2007). Because older adults are thought to avoid retrieval of negative memories (e.g., Mather & Carstensen, 2005), we investigated whether age differences in emotion regulation strategies also influenced memory specificity. Participants RESULTS Measures Young M(SD) Old M(SD) Matrix Reasoning (Scaled) 10.5 (1.6)11.7 (3.3) Verbal Paired Associates (Raw)** 38.2 (9.0)28.78 (12.0) Active Coping*10.2 (2.23)11.7 (2.8) Avoidant Coping20.7 (4.4)19.8 (5.7) Average Specificity**2.23 (0.4)1.7 (0.5) Participant Characteristics Correlations Path Analysis Age differences in autobiographical memory specificity were influenced by both associative memory and use of active coping strategies. These effects were independent of each other, and together accounted for nearly all the age-related variance in specificity. There were no age differences in avoidant coping, and contrary to the functional avoidance hypothesis, avoidant coping did not influence memory specificity. Overall, this suggests that age differences in affective processes combine with age differences in cognitive processes to influence autobiographical memory retrieval. Addis, D. R., Wong, A.

Conclusions Limitations/Future Directions * Age difference significant at p <.05 ** Age difference significant at p < Age- 2. VPA (Raw) Active Coping Avoidant Coping Average Specificity Path Analysis (n.s.) 28 young adults (Ages 18-25; M = 19.3, SD = 1.7) 29 older adults (Ages 64-85; M = 73.3, SD = 7.1) Data collected as part of another study (see poster by Burkett et al.) Participants were screened for cognitive problems using the Short Blessed Specificity coding was not yet available for all participants Cue-word autobiographical memory test; responses coded for specificity on a scale of 0-3 WAIS-IV matrix reasoning WMS-IV verbal paired associates Modified version of the COPE (Carver et al., 1989) Active coping questions “I take additional action to try to get rid of the problem” Avoidant coping questions (combo. of mental avoidance, behavioral avoidance, and denial) “I pretend that it hasn’t really happened” Why does active coping result in reduced memory specificity? (e.g., perhaps focusing attention on solving the problem instead of dwelling on memory of it). Avoidant coping questions from COPE don’t quite capture “functional avoidance” as defined by Williams et al. (2007). (e.g., “Truncated search” of memory to avoid negative affect from recall of unpleasant events)
