The brain changes with age, inn general it shrinks, loses neurons, and develops, abnormalities. But the brain adapts to these changes, even grow new neurons. New view of brain is as dynamic, constantly reorganizing, and malleable, not fixed and rigid. But different types of memory and intelligence show different amounts of change. Memory: the recall of info after learning takes place: slow at processing info. Sensory memory: info perceived through the sense and stored as memory. Short-term memory: where info is stored temporarily while it is being processed or for a short time afterwards.
