最近的研究表明，情感和动机过程会影响记忆力的年龄差异。在本研究中，我们考察了自然情绪状态和诱导情绪状态对错误回忆的年龄差异的影响。年长的和年轻的成年人在他们的自然情绪状态下或在积极或消极的情绪诱导之后，执行了Deese-Roediger-McDermott(DRM；，实验心理学杂志：学习、记忆和认知，21,803)错误记忆范式的一个版本。结果表明，在考虑了基本认知功能的年龄差异后，测试过程中与年龄相关的积极情绪差异与老年人错误回忆的增加有关。引导老年人产生积极情绪也会加剧错误记忆的年龄差异。相比之下，真实回忆似乎并没有受到情绪的系统性影响。综上所述，这些结果表明，积极的情绪状态会影响老年人的信息处理，并可能增加潜在的认知年龄差异。
Recent research suggests that affective and motivational processes can influence age differences in memory. In the current study, we examine the impact of both natural and induced mood state on age differences in false recall. Older and younger adults performed a version of the Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM; ,Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 21, 803) false memory paradigm in either their natural mood state or after a positive or negative mood induction. Results indicated that, after accounting for age differences in basic cognitive function, age-related differences in positive mood during the testing session were related to increased false recall in older adults. Inducing older adults into a positive mood also exacerbated age differences in false memory. In contrast, veridical recall did not appear to be systematically influenced by mood. Together, these results suggest that positive mood states can impact older adults' information processing and potentially increase underlying cognitive age differences.
