dc.description.abstractResearch on older adults has shown that those who are busier and live a more engaged lifestyle show cognitive benefits versus those who are less busy. Episodic memory, in particular, tends to show the largest relationship to busyness in older adults. However, whether this relationship exists in young adults is still unknown. In Study 1, college-age participants completed an engagement questionnaire, a word pair association test, a face-name association test, and other measures of stress and busyness. Study 2 replicated the procedure of Study 1 and additionally examined the impact of alcohol use and sleep deprivation. Contrary to hypotheses, both studies indicated that neither academic nor social engagement was significantly related to episodic memory in young adults. We propose that young adults may generally be busier than older adults and therefore less susceptible to the influence of engagement.en_US
