MAIN FINDING: State measures of vividness significantly predict memory accuracy, unlike trait measures which do not.
KEY EVIDENCE: Young participants remembered object changes better than older adults despite higher vividness ratings reported by the latter.
APPROACH: Participants memorized objects in scenes using a novel method to assess vividness and memory performance on trials.
SIGNIFICANCE: Findings encourage future research to focus on trial-by-trial vividness assessment to clarify its connection to memory accuracy.
