Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review previous research findings of the effect on aging in the domain of source monitoring i.e.: Judgment of Learning (JOL), Feeling of Knowing (FOK), Tip of Tongue (TOT). In the first part of the article, the global concept of metamemory is described which has one or two main components of monitoring (e.g., JOL, FOK). Then metacognitive monitoring in older adults from several research findings in the literature is examined. In this study, the difference between younger and older adults on source monitoring which is the subject of the study is also addressed. The recent theoretical and empirical advances on the effect of aging in source monitoring are considered. Previous studies that identified the effects of aging on source monitoring are examined. These studies are compared and interesting points that stood out are discussed. After discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the studies, the questions of where and how these studies can be used are also discussed.
