Aging memory: short-term memory and differences in recall performance found across age groups.1. IntroductionThe following research proposal aims to continue to deepen the discussion and study of human memory. However, in particular, we will delve into the difference that can be found between age groups in terms of short-term memory and recall ability. The motivation for undertaking such a study can be said to expand existing knowledge and fill any gaps due to lack of intuition and testing in specific areas: short-term memory and recall performance. Another reason this topic is being researched is to further my interest within this specialized area of memory and cognitive neuroscience in psychology. Research question Are there significant differences between short-term memory and recall performance in young adulthood and? middle adulthood? Hypothesis There are significant differences between the two age groups regarding short-term memory and recall performance.2. Literature Review Much research effort has been made on the topic of memory aging, particularly short-term memory and recall performance with age. However, there appears to be a lack of research regarding the difference found between young and middle age. The extensive knowledge about memory that has been gathered will be used to help support and gain a better understanding of the findings that will be presented at a later time. next phase. However, there is a need to learn more about previous literature on human memory and memory aging. It is important to define the key concept, memory, before discussing this topic further.
