<p>Research on collaborative remembering has largely focused on accurate recall, with limited attention to alternative recall processes—such as modified remembering, cueing, and elaborations— or to the role of gestures in young and older adults. The present study compares collaborative remembering of a narrated story in young and older adults, considering different recall states and accompanying gestural expressions. A videographic study was conducted with 56 participants (28 young adults and 28 older adults) working in dyads to collaboratively recall a culturally grounded story. Accurate recall, modified recall, elaborations, and cueing were analyzed, together with beat, pointing, iconic, and metaphorical gestures. Results showed that young adults produced more accurate recall, whereas older adults exhibited higher levels of modified remembering and elaborations, with no group differences in cueing. Older adults produced more metaphorical gestures overall. Gesture analyses by recall type further indicated that young adults used more pointing and beat gestures during accurate remembering, whereas older adults showed a greater use of beat gestures during modified remembering. Markov transition analyses revealed age-related differences in recall dynamics, with transitions favoring accurate recall in young adults and modified recall–related states in older adults. Additional analyses indicated age differences in the facilitative role of gestures during collaborative remembering. These findings highlight the importance of considering multiple verbal and bodily processes to better understand collaborative remembering across the adult lifespan.</p>
