Preferred term
memory failure
Definition
- It has long been held that a person's memory gradually deteriorates across the life span. This conclusion has been based on research demonstrating that memory performance gradually decreases as people get older and that self-reports sometimes have shown that memory fails more often for older people than for younger people.
