Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Older adults are more likely to experience a phenomenon known as "false recognition," where they mistakenly believe they recognize a word even though it was not on the original list. This is a common age-related memory error. They do not typically recognize all or none of the items from the old list, nor do they panic and refuse to participate.
