Abstract
The suggestion that memory loss as a result of the aging process is due to a loss in the ability to retrieve memories from storage is challenged. An alternative hypothesis, that of a defect in the storage system itself, is proposed. Some empirical evidence to support this view is presented.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
