Which age group has the best memory?

There isn't a specific age group that has the best memory as it varies from individual to individual. However, research suggests that memory typically peaks in young adulthood and starts to decline gradually as people age, particularly after the age of 40. However, factors like genetics, lifestyle, and overall health can also influence an individual's memory abilities.


What happens as people age?

As people age, they may experience declines in physical abilities, such as diminished strength and flexibility. Cognitive functions, like memory and processing speed, may also decline. Additionally, there can be a higher risk of developing chronic health conditions like heart disease, arthritis, and dementia.


At what age is your memory the best?

It is typically believed that your memory peaks a few years after puberty. Society actually inhibits memory to a certain degree by requiring humans to survive by performing a job (in order to retain money). The longer you perform the same activity or the more you train or learn in your job the less brain power goes into memory retention. The more diverse the exercises for your brain, the better, as life goes on.

Do people with superior autobiographical memory has high IQ?

I wondered the same thing. I do not think that their IQ is necessarily extremely high; I do wonder, however, if their superior autobiographical memory extends to things they have studied or read, which may result in very high test scores. --- As someone that has a good memory, but not a "superior autobiographical memory," I can say that, yes, it extends to things that have been read and studied and it equates to a higher than average I.Q. I have been told by 'average' people that it is highly unusual for someone to remember their babyhood years or what may have happened even in grammar school. I thought I was just unusual and never spoke of it. Now my curiosity is piqued.
