Question 3

Vannucci et al. (2012) found that false identifications of objects led to false memories in older adults even when the older adults received feedback as to what the object was initially.This suggests that:

Accepted Answer

A) older adults have perceptual deficits rather than mnemonic deficits. 
B) older adults forget the source of the correct information (i.e., the feedback) and instead remember the initial misperceived source. 
C) mnemonic deficits in old age are compounded by failing perceptual systems. 
D) older adults are more suggestible and thus less likely to believe the feedback.
