Age-related increases in false recognition: the role of perceptual and conceptual similarity.

A marginally significant 3-way interaction ( F (1,50) = 4.0, p = 0.05) reflected presence of a Category Size × Age interaction for concrete ( F (1,50) = 8.66, p = 0.005) but not abstract items ( F (1,50) = 0.11, p = 0.74).

Consistent with findings from each experiment, age differences in abstract false recognition were not reliable for either total or highly confident false recognition of lures from single-item categories (total: t (98) = 1.18, p = 0.24; confident: t (98) = 0.66, p = 0.51), but either approached significance or were highly significant for large category abstract lures (total: t (98) = 1.77, p = 0.08; confident: t (98) = 3.52, p = 0.001).
