Background Disproportionally better memory for positive versus negative information (mnemonic positivity effect, MPE) in older versus younger adults has been reported on tests of explicit memory (direct, intentional) as measured by recall and recognition. The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether the MPE would be observed for implicit memory (indirect, unintentional) under conditions where, based on previous research using single words, it was expected that the MPE for explicit memory would be absent.Methods This study investigated the influence of age on explicit and implicit memory for positive, negative, and neutral single words as measured by yes/no recognition and word identification on 24 older adults (aged 66-85) and 24 younger adults (aged 18-37) recruited from community centers in South Boston, Massachusetts.Results Older adults had lower recognition memory accuracy for positive, negative, and neutral words than younger adults, and, consistent with most prior studies, did not exhibit an explicit memory MPE for single words. For both groups, recognition accuracy was greatest for negative words, and was similar for positive and neutral words. In contrast, older adults exhibited implicit repetition priming, as measured by superior identification performance for repeated words, that was similar to younger adults for positive and neutral words. In younger adults, implicit memory was significantly greater for negative words than for positive and neutral words, whereas in older adults there were no significant differences in implicit memory for negative, positive, and neutral words. Therefore, selectively reduced priming for negative words in older adults was found in the context of enhanced priming for negative words in the younger adults.Conclusion These findings show that there was an implicit memory MPE in older adults for words even under conditions where there was no explicit memory MPE in the older adults. Dampening of negative valence implicit memory with aging expands the perimeter of the age-related positivity framework.
