Preferred term

memory fitness  

Definition

  • Consistent with the frequent memory complaints among older adults, cross-sectional studies tend to show robust, age-related declines on a variety of memory tasks. In comparison with younger adults, older adults show deficits in working memory (e.g., keeping thoughts activated in the face of distraction, as would be involved in mentally multiplying 2 large numbers) and long-term memory (e.g., remembering a list of words).
