As heard on the news this evening - research shows that older adults sometimes have trouble remembering specific information because they have accumulated so much information in their brains over the years. I've always suspected something like this. So, the next time you don't remember why you walked into the kitchen, tell yourself it's not because of old age or because you're forgetful. You simply have so many other thoughts bobbling around in your brain, that it's hard to remember the little things, like potato chips. I bet you can remember the names of all the pets you had as a child. On a more positive note, the same study concluded that older adults are more creative. Not sure more creative than what. So if you went into the kitchen for chips and came out with ice cream you were merely being creative.
