The hippocampus transfers your memory from short-term to long-term (Michaels, 2003). All three types of memory use different parts o the brain to store information (Michaels, 2003). The brain begins to reach its highest peak in the early twenties. It slowly begins to decline from then on out. At the age of forty people tend to realize they begin to forget simple things like new names or doing more than one thing at a time. Memory loss normally begins at the age of forty-five. Research shows that older aged people tend to have the best memory. They also seem to do well under pressure. A study was done on different aged people to see how good their memory was. Studies show that aging is what causes your memory to change (West, Crook, & Barron, 1992). Memory was influenced by the passage of time and age (Sinnott, 1986. The brain works all the time to help you remember things. Most people’s memory tends to be bad under pressure due to the stress of pressure. Introduction Background Procedures 1.Gather participants a.Four groups in total; two of each age group; eleven per group. ii.Teen control group ii.Teen exercise group iii.Adult Control group iv.Adult exercise 2.Participants will be given a survey (pg.4) on how much exercise is done on a weekly basis 3.Participants will have to memorize a pattern (on randomly created). 4.They will complete their exercise 5.Participants will be asked to repeat the pattern that was given 6.ANOVA Materials/Spaces Needed: 1.Survey and pattern to memorize 2.Participants 3.Area to complete experiment 4.Room for them to memorize there pattern in 5.Timer 6. Chart to keep up with the information Materials and Procedures Results Hypotheses Research: The teenage participants will have the best memory out of both age groups, physical activity will not affect the teens, but it will affect the adults. Null: There will be no significant difference of memorization between the different groups and physical activity will have no affect on memory. Acknowledgements My research hypothesis was supported, because it was proven that the teens had a better memory than the adults and the physical activity did not seem to affect memory. My null hypothesis was also accepted. My p value was higher than.05, resulting into my hypothesis to be supported. FUTURE RESEARCH For further research, I would like to test just memory in the different extracurricular activities. I would eliminate the adults from this project and compare the results of just the teens and compare them to one another according to their sports. The older you get the more you mature. The more you exercise the more you become fit. You never realize the change until well after the difference. The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of your memory due to your age. It will be seen if doing any physical activity affects your memory. Memory is the total of what we remember, it gives us the capability to learn and adapt from previous experiences (Mastin, 2010). Memory is also when the brain stores, retain, and recalls information. There are three different types of memory, sensory, short-term, and long- term memory. Each type have memory has a specific doing. Sensory memory is the memory of things in our sensory systems (Michaels, 2003). Short-term memory is the recording of information, it is also known as the working memory. Long-term memory is the capacity of storing information over a long period of time.

They have given me a lot of help. I would also like to thank my older peers that reviewed and edited my papers to allow them to be correct. Also, to the teacher that helped me put this all together, Scoot Bolen. I would also like to thank Christopher Coleman, for allowing me to use his students for participation. Carrie Ansah for helping me collect data and giving me the transportation to. The RMSST staff has also contributed to helping me complete a lot of my project. Thanks to everyone for their support and I hope they continue to help. 8563 74295 1257 89614 1-5 numbers= Poor 6-9 numbers= Moderate 10-16= Good As you can see, the majority of the participants have good memory, this data includes the control groups as well. These two graphs are showing the memory percentages between the exercising adults and exercising teens. As you can see, fifty percent of the teens have a good memory, while twenty-one percent of the adults have good memory. ANOVA Results P=.596 F=.89 DF=18
