The failing memories of older adults, including their tendency to remember
things that never happened, are not an inevitable consequence of aging,
suggests research from Washington University in St. Louis. A study to be
presented Aug. 8 at the American Psychological Association meeting in
Toronto offers evidence that false memories and other cognitive declines
often associated with normal aging can be more directly linked to
measurable declines in executive control functions in frontal brain
lobes.
