Attempts to Replicate Age-Related Hyper-Binding Outside the Lab

We explored hyper-binding–connecting non-target and target information–in online samples. The typical pattern of older, but not younger, adults hyper-binding was not shown in a word-association task (Experiment 1) nor a face-name recall task (Experiment 2). Implications include the importance of considering synchrony effects (May et al., 2023).
