Do you sometimes forget where you left your keys?  Do you have trouble remembering the names of people you’ve met?  Does answering a question take you a little longer than it used to?  Don’t worry.  You’re not alone.  Research confirms that remembering details, holding information in mind and manipulating it, and identifying where we learned or experienced something all tend to decline for the great majority of us as we get older.

The good news is that these kinds of minor memory changes don’t stop people from living a full and vibrant life.  Furthermore, products, strategies and programs that can be used to help support or even improve how well your memory works are available.  If you complete the “My Memory Complaints” checklist, we’ll tell you what the experts have to say about your complaints and point you towards some products that may be helpful.

Note: If your concerns are related to more serious kinds of memory issues, such as dementia, stroke or traumatic brain injury, please talk with your doctor or health care provider.
