How False Memory and True Memory Affect Decision-Making in Older Adults: A Dissociative Account.

These results together suggest an age-related dissociation between memory and decision-making that older adults may be less efficient in using their memory to guide decision-making than younger adults. Future research may further investigate its underlying mechanisms and develop potential interventions aiming at strengthening the connection between memory and decision-making in older adults to help improve their decision-making performance.
