Summary : Episodic memory, inhibition deficit, and cognitive aging : An examination of the frontal hypothesis Cognitive aging is a mosaic of selective deficits and spared abilities. To account for such discrepancies, it has been assumed that age-related differences in memory tasks were mainly observed in conditions that require executive control and activation of the prefrontal cortex. The present theoretical note examines this frontal hypothesis by contrasting a strong and a weak version. The strong version explains memory declines in normal aging by a specific deficit of inhibition mechanisms. The weak version invokes more general links between some strategic memory processes and executive control. The note proceeds in three steps. First,...
