"Memory and other cognitive functions do not show significant decline in all elderly," contends Beth Ober, professor of human development at the University of California, Davis

USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education),  Feb, 2005  

> "Memory and other cognitive functions do not show significant decline in all elderly," contends Beth Ober, professor of human development at the University of California, Davis. "In fact, 85% of those 65 years old and older show normal functioning of the mind." While memory for recent events is most impacted by aging, memory for one's language and other types of "world knowledge," as well as memory for rules and procedures (for games), is well maintained.
