Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While all types of memory decline to some degree in old age, research suggests that working memory (the ability to hold and manipulate information in the short term) tends to decline more significantly than long-term memory (the storage of information over extended periods of time). Sensory memory and iconic memory (the visual sensory memory) also decline in old age, but they are not typically considered distinct types of memory like working memory and long-term memory. Semantic memory, which involves the storage of factual knowledge about the world, tends to be well-preserved in old age.
