요약 | Across the adult lifespan, we pursue many different goals: we may learn new information, try to stay healthy, and build relationships with loved ones. Previous work (e.g., socioemotional selectivity theory, Carstensen, Isaacowitz, & Charles, 1999) suggests that while younger adults pursue primarily knowledge-based goals, older adults pursue primarily social and emotional goals. Though this shift in priorities is supported by substantial evidence, what motivates us to learn in healthy aging may be more complex than a single theory may suggest. The current Dissertation investigates how learners remember information with primarily social goals (Chapter 2) and primarily knowledge-based goals (Chapters 3 and 4), as well as how variables such as age and information importance can affect memory and metacognition.Though age-related deficits for associative information are well-established (e.g., Naveh-Benjamin, 2000), older adults are often able to prioritize and associate items in memory that are the most important to remember, given their learning goals. Metacognition is a critical component of how we monitor and control our learning, and some evidence in this Dissertation suggests that we do not have accurate representations of our memory abilities. However, overconfidence is not ubiquitous: for example, we are aware that we may not be very good at remembering other peoples' names |
