Memory By: Tristin Padgett

Problem What effect does age have on memory?

Introduction The reason why I picked this is because everybody always says they can remember stuff really well. I wanted to see if that is actually true. So I’m testing everybody I can.

Background Information That most younger people are better at memory. Memory: The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience.

Hypothesis I predict…….. That older are better at remembering.
