The development of episodic memory across the lifespan : Integrating behavioral and neural evidence

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Episodic memory (EM) refers to the conscious remembering of events and situations relating the past, present, and future (e.g., Tulving, 2002). Researchers in the fields of cognitive child development and cognitive aging have been working on understanding how EM develops and changes within confined age periods. However, remarkably little effort has been invested into comparing the mechanisms that underlie memory changes in childhood and old age. As we show in this article, a lifespan perspective on EM helps to delineate the differences, commonalities, and dependencies among mechanisms that regulate memory functions and development (cf. Craik & Bialystok, 2006).
