Age related memory loss and the role of the ubiquitin proteasome system
… a vital region of the brain directly involved in memory formation and spatial processing. As individuals age, this area undergoes significant structural changes, including a reduction in volume and modifications in molecular processes. These transformations are an inevitable aspect of the natural …

The role of Igf2 methylation and histone ubiquitination in age-related memory decline
… decline affects nearly 33% of adults over the age of 70 and is a major risk factor for developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The hippocampus is one of the major brain regions associated with memory formation, and is one of the first regions impacted in dementia and AD. Although …

Non-proteolytic roles of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in memory formation across the lifespan
Memory formation and decline are driven by complex molecular mechanisms and region-specific changes in the brain. Epigenetic modifications, such as histone monoubiquitination and ubiquitin signaling, have emerged as key players in these processes. While monoubiquitination of histone H2B is a …

The effects of memory knowledge on attributions of forgetfulness in younger and older adults
This study examined the relationship between memory knowledge and peoples' perceptions of forgetful younger and older adults in two ways. First, using an experimental approach, younger and older research participants were assigned to one of three information conditions: control (received no …

The Effect of Age-Related Stereotypes on Memory Self-Efficacy and Memory Task-Performance of Older Adults
… a significant association between stereotypes of age-related memory decline and memory self-efficacy beliefs. It was also hypothesized that this relationship affects performance on measures of memory performance. A measure of age stereotype vulnerability was assessed along with two measures of …

Strategy Uses and Study Time: Relationship with Memory Performance in Older Adults
… study was to foster a greater understanding of age-related memory loss as it pertains to the aging workforce's ability to remain productive and effective in a time of complex change, and to recommend some adjustments that can be made to compensate for these memory declines. The specific intent …

Age Related Decline in Memory: Examining the Mediation Effect of Processing, Executive Functioning and Intelligence in Normal Adults
… have examined the mechanisms that underlie memory change among younger aging individuals. As a result, it is unclear whether relevant mediating variables have been excluded from early research on age-related memory decline, or to what extent rehabilitative strategies are applicable as early …

Age Group Differences In Recall of Relevant and Irrelevant Words
… that older adults tend to perform more poorly on memory tasks, when compared to younger people. Conversely, studies have also indicated that there may be ways to combat this decline in age related memory performance by using memory aid techniques. In addition to memory aid techniques, word …

Age-related impairments in memory and in cholinergic signaling due to reduced blood glucose responses to epinephrine
Memory impairments accompany aging and can range in severity from mild deficits during healthy aging to debilitating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. The causes of these impairments are generally viewed in terms of anatomical, chemical, and physiological changes within the brain. However, …

Aging and Event Segmentation
Episodic memory, our memory for events in our lives, typically becomes less detailed and more prone to error with advancing age. An extensive literature exists investigating age-related memory decline using simple stimuli (e.g., words, pictures), but fewer studies have used naturalistic stimuli …

Humor's Effect on Short-Term Memory in Older Adults: An Innovative Wellness Paradigm
<p>Context: With ageing, the detrimental effects of stress can impair the ability to learn and sustain memory. Humor and the associated mirthful laughter can reduce stress by decreasing the hormone cortisol. Chronic release of cortisol can damage hippocampal neurons leading to impairment of …

Effects of healthy ageing on the precision of episodic memory
Episodic memory decline is one of the hallmarks of human cognitive ageing, but our understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this decline remains limited. In particular, it is unclear whether healthy ageing differentially affects distinct components of episodic memory retrieval; …

Age Differences in Reward Anticipation and Memory
… research on item- and associative-recognition memory has demonstrated that older adults are deficient in forming associations between two unrelated stimuli. Although older adult performance on tests of item-recognition is similar to younger adult performance, older adults perform worse than …
