Age-Related Decline in Controlled Retrieval: The Role of the PFC and Sleep
Table 2
Retrieval processes influenced by advanced aging, PFC damage, and sleep deprivation. Simple item recognition is thought not to depend on the PFC except under conditions in which subjects are required to distinguish between studied items and unstudied items semantically related to studied items (false recognition). Some effects of aging, PFC, and sleep deprivation on these memory processes are attributable to impairments in both retrieval as well as encoding strategies.
