   Abstract:
   In three experiments, we examined part-set cuing effects in younger and older adults. Participants listened to lists of category exemplars, and later recalled them. Across conditions, recall was uncued, or cued with a subset of studied items. In Experiment 1, younger and older adults were cued with some of the category names, and they remembered fewer never-cued categories as compared to a free recall condition. In Experiment 2, a similar effect was observed when the cues were category exemplars (as opposed to category names). There was also an age difference: by some measures, a small number of cues impaired older adults more than younger adults. In Experiment 3, we replicated this result and also found that older adults were disproportionately slow in the presence of cues. In all experiments, older adults showed robust part- set cuing effects and in some cases, they were disproportionately impaired by the cues.
