Old age people are easily distracted

 

TORONTO: Older adults aren’t able to filter out distracting information as readily as youngsters and this effects their ability to memorise

things, according to a new study.

 

Scientists at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Canada say that annoying noise is behind their latest discovery of unique brain activity underlying memory encoding failure, which appears to occur only in older brains.

 

Volunteers for the study had their brains scanned inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. While the powerful technology can yield remarkable computerised images of the brain working to form a new memory
