Abstract
Elderly adults are appropriate targets for objective memory assessment and cognitive testing in the promotion of earlier recognition of people with symptoms of a dementing process. The major change in memory with age is the decline in ability to recall things explicitly. There is a need for education of the general public and health professionals about memory impairment and its relationship with stress, depression, anxiety and dementia.
