Memory is the process of acquiring, storing, retaining, and retrieving information. To improve memory, use strategies like writing things down and repeating information. Engage in regular physical exercise and mental stimulation to protect your memory as you age. Our memory helps make us who we are.
There are different types of memory. Short-term memory stores information for a few seconds or minutes. Long-term memory stores it for a longer period of time. Memory doesn't always work perfectly. As you grow older, it may take longer to remember things. It's normal to forget things once in a while.
