effects of normal aging on memory may result from the subtly changing environment within the brain. With aging‚ the brain seems to lose cells in areas that produce important neurotransmitters‚ upsetting the brain’s delicate balance of these chemical messengers.

Just how these changes affect memory

defined as the manifestation of biological events that occur over a span of time. Aging can also be defined as a progressive functional decline‚ or a gradual deterioration of physiological function with age‚ including a decrease in fecundity (Partridge and Mangel‚ 1999)‚ or the intrinsic‚ inevitable‚ and irreversible age-related process of loss of viability and increase in vulnerability (Comfort‚ 1964).

These elements are: id‚ ego‚ and superego. We are born with id and it represents our biological urges. Freud felt that we
