You get dumber
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.
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.
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.
Overall, adults tend to have better memory than children, teenagers, and seniors. Memory functions tend to peak in early adulthood and decline gradually with age. However, cognitive abilities can vary widely among individuals within each age group.
old age affects memory because as you grow older you become more weak and feeble, the circulatory system starts to work slower and cant pump enough blood to the brain for it to work better. young age (Like babys) affects memory because they havent had enough neurons to enter their brain yet, also, they don't challenge their brain and are barely learning to do things
Episodic
Autobiographical memory
Autobiographical memory is a type of episodic memory.Episodic memory is memory which is tied to a certain time or place. It covers an episode, rather than semantic memory which is just facts not tied to any episode.Episodic memory can be autobiographical, or experimental. Autobiographical means events in your life. For instance "what did you eat for breakfast this morning?" is autobiographical episodic memory.The other sort of episodic memory is experimental memory. This is rare, and only really considered in cases of Psychological experiments. It involves someone learning something semantically (for instance, a list of words) which then becomes episodic as the person ties the information to the specific episode of processing the words for the experiment.
This way in which the memory does so is due to the autobiographical memory.
There is no opposite condition for highly superior autobiographical memory orhyperthymesia.
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.
All episodic memory is from your own life, but episodic memory from your life as it would naturally happen is called autobiographical episodic memory. Helpful to remember that an autobiography is a book about someone's own life.
