How
Does the Brain Change with Age? - Most people notice
subtle changes in their cognitive abilities as they get older. It may
take longer to think through a problem or make a calculation. Memory also
may be affected. Older adults often report having increasing difficulty
with short-term memory, such as forgetting where they left the car keys.
They also may falter as they try to recall someone's name or a familiar
word that is "on the tip of the tongue." 3/5
