Question

What are some of the noncognitive factors that affect memory?

Health, education, and socioeconomic status (SES) can influence an older adult's performance on memory tasks. Although such noncognitive factors as good health are associated with less memory decline in older adults, they do not eliminate memory decline. A recent study revealed that older adults with less education had lower cognitive abilities than those with more education. However, for older adults with less education, frequently engaging in cognitive activities improved their episodic memory. Also, a recent study found that older adults with a higher level of education had better cognitive functioning.
