Age differences in task-selective source accuracy effects at the time of study when behavioral performance is unmatched between groups. Regions showing greater self-selective effects for the young relative to the older adults are shown in (A) and those showing greater other-selective effects for the older relative to the young adults are show in (B).

Notes: Trials in this contrast were the once presented trials for the young and older adults where source memory performance was better in the young. The dorsal medial PFC region depicted in bold is shown in Figure 5. Regions are listed from highest to lowest t-value. Regions listed without a cluster size are subsumed by the larger cluster listed directly above. Regions listed without an anatomic region are identical to the region listed immediately above. BA: Brodmann’s area; PFC = prefrontal cortex
