Defining ‘Successful’ Episodic Memory Ageing: Implications of Methodological Heterogeneity

2026-02-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Episodic memory changes as we age ranging from marked decline in Alzheimer's disease to exceptional preservation in some older adults. Older individuals with episodic memory exceeding typical age-related performance are often termed ‘superagers’. Previous studies have used varying age ranges, reference benchmarks to distinguish successful from typical ageing or memory assessment tasks....
