Memory decline in aging involves both executive functions linked to the frontal lobes and explicit memory supported by the hippocampus. Understanding these interacting system deficits is key to cognitive aging research.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Normal memory relies on distinct, interdependent cognitive and neurobiological systems.
  • A multiple systems view guides the understanding of memory's complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent research on cognitive and neurobiological aging.
  • To explore how memory systems change with age.

Main Methods:

  • Selective survey of recent studies on cognitive and neurobiological aging.
  • Analysis based on a multiple systems view of memory.

Main Results:

  • Memory decline in aging is associated with compromised executive memory processes in frontal regions.
  • Deterioration of explicit memory capacities supported by the hippocampal system contributes to age-related memory loss.

Conclusions:

  • Age-related memory deficits result from the interplay of multiple memory systems.
  • Further research is needed to define the interaction of these deficits in cognitive aging.
