The deterioration of the hippocampus and its consequences on memory are aspects to be considered in the aging process.
However, it is important to highlight that aging affects each individual in a unique way and not everyone experiences the same rate of cognitive decline.
Memory game tests like the one mentioned on the training site cerebral, can provide a rough estimate of a person's memory capacity in relation to different age groups.
Participants are asked to read and try to remember as many words as possible in a limited amount of time, without taking notes.
Upon completion of the test, the words are revealed so that participants can compare their answers and see how many words they managed to remember correctly.
Importantly, the aforementioned test can provide a rough estimate of memory capacity based on word retention over a short period of time.
According to the test, if you managed to remember between seven and fifteen words, it indicates a memory comparable to that of a young person in their twenties.
On the other hand, if you remembered four or fewer words, it is associated with the average memory of an 80 year old person.
Most people experience occasional memory lapses, and in most cases, these are nothing to worry about.
If you are experiencing persistent memory issues or related concerns, it is always advisable to consult a GP or a qualified health professional.
