Whether you’re young or old, you use the gist of the situation to judge how vividly and confidently you remember. (8/9)

Older adults did perform more poorly on memory tasks, but the relationship between subjective memory experience and objective memory performance remained stable throughout life. (7/9)

Next, people were asked to rate how vivid their memory was and how confident they were about their memory. Finally, we tested whether people can remember the visual details of the event’s three elements. (6/9)

At test, people were shown a theme word and asked to remember the event that made up the story. First, we tested whether they remember which person, object and place were a part of the event, choosing between four options. (5/9)

People generated a meaningful story containing three elements (person, place and object) and a theme (e.g. “Party”). (4/9)

Subjective memory experience can be thought of as the ability to reexperience the memory in our mind’s eye and a sense of confidence about the accuracy of our memories. (3/9)
