Memory
failures from the age of 55
As the person starts to grow old, memory changes, but memory is a system and not all parts of this change alike.
Thus, it has been discovered that the sensory memory is not deteriorating (the one that collects the stimuli that reach us through the senses: Visual, hearing,...), neither short-term memory, nor long-term memory. In the latter the stored knowledge is stable and can increase with age.
Many times healthy people of advanced age usually complain because they have failures in their memory, and a very high % cares excessively for their ability to remember: " I don't remember some names, I don't remember the faces, I forget the phone numbers , I don't know where I put things..." this same anguish increases memory failures. That's why it's better not to be unnecessarily burdened and have information about what really happens.
The information is in the long term memory is held equal at any age, the problem comes to recover it. The one who suffers deterioration is the memory of work, which allows to do all the daily operations, which involve manipulating and organizing different information. It becomes less efficient.
When it comes to recognizing information, there is no difference with young people, but yes when it is required to remember without giving clues. However, this memory can be improved, how? Mainly using help to remember. Some are very simple and easy to use, like putting notes, getting a sign in the hand with pen, looking for associations...
Math and memory
One of the functions that can be kept up to date is memory. It's not just an age problem, it's also a matter of use. For experts it is necessary to practice with it constantly as it revitalizes it and, even, increases its capacity.
Among the tasks or games that can be practiced are the small math operations. Remember the tables to multiply or perform more or less complex memory divisions, allow us to invigorate our memory and, at the same time, have less dependence on calculator machines. It has been proven that, since the widespread use of this type of gadgets, the average capacity of any person to perform multiplication or divisions not too complex has declined.
