40-50 Age Group Report

Selective memory retrieval is research to try and recall events that occurred in your past life. In their studies, they used sixty-four participants between the age of (20-35) for the younger generation and for the 64 participants their age was over sixty. They then proceeded to show each group certain images to remember. Both groups showed a very poor retrieval to the images portrayed. For the most part, this initial test between the young and older ages was unsuccessful. Since, this experiment didn’t go as planned they came up with a new process. That process being to have a much wider group is participants. Having the participants between the age of (40-85) drastically changed the results of the experiment. Critically, the size of the beneficial but now the detrimental effect of retrieval decreased with age and this age-related decline was mediated by individuals working memory capacity, as measured by the complex operation span task. (Aslan, A., Schlichting, A., John, T., & Bauml, K. T., 2015) In this study it showed that there was an early decline in the older generation memory compared to the younger

For this older adult report, I interviewed a friend’s grandfather who is the age of 67 years old. The first question was asked about the client’s diet and how it changed from 40-50’s to now, the client stated that he has hypertension, high cholesterol and asthma; to improve his health he wanted to change his diet. From around the age of 40-50’s, the client’s diet consists of jasmine white rice for every meal, fried foods, sugary drinks, and unmonitored sodium intake. During those years, he was working 3rd shift and was too busy in cooking meals, that most of his meal are fast food. Culturally, white rice is a norm in every meals and meals with salt and sodium are expected to be added for flavors. After the client found about his health, he

The participants for this study are required to be around the same age and intelligence to ensure that there is control in the study. Since it is controlled, it will ensure more reliability and validity, which will make the data more accurate. Instead of choosing participants from all different ages, choosing high school students from roughly the same age will increase reliability and validity. If the researchers decided to use people from a wide range of ages, some participants would be at a disadvantage. For example, if they decided to use older people their memory may not be as sharp. In addition, if participants were a lot younger then they could be distracted more easily, which will make it harder for them to concentrate on memorizing the numbers from the test. For this reason, the researchers decided to choose participants from high school.

Of the 42 participants that passed, 9 of these were between the ages of 46-55. It was noticed that here, the scores start dropping. Fewer people fit into this age range than the two before it. This fit more of the hypothesis, going along with the theory that the older you are, the less likely you are to remember basic, seventh grade-level

An older individuals short-term memory or working memory is unable to retain as many things on the list as a younger individual is. In short-term memory, individuals are able to keep 7+/- 2 things. Young adults fall on the higher end of this and older individuals fall on the lower side of this range. External aids such as a pen and paper or a recording device can can help counteract this. Older individuals also experience inhibitory loss, which if the setting in which the free-recall test was being taken had any distractions around, it would make it much harder of rate individual to keep their attention focused on the task at hand.

Accounts Receivable (A/R) Aging Report can help you understand the health and performance of an average practice. An experienced medical biller from 4D Global can tell if the billing department of your practice is doing a good job just by looking at the A/R Aging Report. Key performance report tracks the number of encounters, procedures, total collections, total charges, outstanding A/R, and the total number of adjustments. The report helps medical billers to compare many indicators from different months to find the negative and positive trends. Insurance analysis report changes as well collections the top carriers of your practice who are the insurance companies and payers making up the majority of the business of your practice.

The second study the researchers conducted included 94 people ranging in age from 62 to 80. They were divided into four groups. The people in this study didn't have noted cognitive issues, but they felt their memories were diminishing. The groups were given placebo, blueberry powder, fish oil or a combination of fish oil and powder. The results weren't as profound as the first study. Researchers feel the reason for this may be because the participants had less severe memory problems when they joined the study.

The children accurately identified more images that were shown from the first part of the experiment than the adults. This proves that the myth, “children memorize much more easily than adults” is true. Based on the results it is easier for the children to remember what they see or trying to remember because its easier for them to use their basic skills than adults. Children have more capabilities to easily remember because they pay more attention to the details than adults. On the other hand, adults prefer to categorize what they see or trying to remember because it makes it easier for them to remember, therefore they don’t easily remember every details unless they are prompted to remember them. Adults are also good at memorizing but they

“When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra” (Will Rogers). Not every single person on this earth will be able to remember algebra seeing that there is a chance of getting Alzheimer’s disease, but that is highly unlikely. “Odds are you're not suddenly developing Alzheimer's disease, although many people jump to that conclusion” (Mohs) The problem being solved is seeing if short-term memory is affected by age. Studies show that people take longer to process information as they grow older. But the question in this experiment is "Does age affect short-term memory." This is not to find out the processing time of the brain. The point is to find out if someone from ages 35 to 45 can store a set of ten numbers in

In this experiment multiple aspects are being tested. First, the mnemonic’s effectivity on the short tem memory of 70 year olds. In this scenario is the group with no training is the control group, whereas the group completing the program is the experimental group. The independent variable is the mnemonic program and the dependent variable is score on Wechsler memory

Many studies have been broad, studying the vocabulary, reasoning, memory, and speed of the person, but zoning in on one thing specific may lead to further understanding. Studying the effects of cognitive aging in relation to memory possibly will open so many more areas of study. Studying specific age groups could also be helpful when attempting to understand cognitive aging as a whole. Learning about how speed, memory, vocabulary, and reasoning all work within a child, 10-15 years old, might be helpful when comparing that data to that information of an adult. between 50-60 years

However, the number of participants involved in this study is 6 and this number is lacking for a common conclusion. Besides, all participants are aged 19 years, which has no experimental support and meaning. Since Madsen and Kim (2014) pointing out that significant developmental stages are infant, juvenile, preadolescent, preadolescent and adult, and to examine the age that childhood amnesia ends, this experiments will select participant from 3 age groups: 10-15 years old, 15-20 years old and 20-25 years old, representing preadolescent, preadolescent and adult respectively. In this way, the experimental result will be more accurate and universal.

However, we also take into account that different findings may be due to different assessment methods since some study included questionnaires of relatives and others use assessment tools. Therefore, it is important to know how reliable are, because we cannot expect that tools that measure different aspects of memory to correlate in a significant way with each

The competing theory postulate a time-based decay of memory. Souza & ob demonstrated that recall error of verbal materials is related to similarity and low temporal distinctiveness; thus, suggesting a role of interference in recall. The role of interference was also shown in monkeys (monkey study). Bigelow & P study suggest that monkey’s auditory short-term memory is susceptible to interference due to repeated presentation of the same stimuli in multiple trial. Furthermore, Loosli’s study suggest a developmental change in interference. In this study, older adults demonstrated more errors related to interference than younger adults. These two studies
