Spatial location, item memory
Show a face , break (evaluate how well u remember the face, where was the face or is it a new face, break
Linear mixed effect model
Sex difference in spatial context retrieval accuracy as function of age
Mail and female have similar performances before age 50, but starting 50s female decline rapidly
The rapid decline at midlife occurs approximately the same time as menopause
Pre - menopause and post- menopause showed differences in the brain activity
Menopause accelerates age effect on episodic memory at midlife and alters brain function in episodic memory network
Still trying to understand why some people show this but others don’t
Closing thoughts
1- use classroom age de Create variables
2- Comper with Then and be Group
3- conduct post-hoc to see if some demographic and lifestyle variables are over represented in some findings
