• How Poverty May Affect Memory: Research

  School-aged children with a low-socioeconomic status exhibit both verbal and visuospatial working memory deficits, possibly due to increased levels of stress, a new study suggests.

•

  Using brain imaging to look at how working memory is influenced by emotions may help identify which children have bipolar disorder and which have attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

•

  Children with iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) are prone to develop memory deficits, which may persist later in life.

• 

  Unhealthy lifestyle weakens memory

  If you're having trouble remembering where you left your keys or recalling a word, mull over the number of times and how many years you've continued unhealthy behaviours.
