ABSTRACT
Age appears to have a significant impact on memory, according to a large body of research. When compared to younger individuals, older persons often score worse on memory tests, and this discrepancy gets worse with age. This deterioration in memory with age can be attributed to a variety of factors. One explanation is that older folks just have more years of experience and have had more time to forget things. It’s also possible that aging-related brain changes make it more challenging for older folks to store and recover memories. The age- related deterioration in memory is a well-known phenomena, regardless of the reason.
