Features of memory and intellectual activity among the elderly with different reading productivity

Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the indicators of memory and intellectual activity among elderly people with different reading productivity. The results of the study showed that elderly people were distinguished by a greater number of errors when performing oral–aural, visual memory, and visual-spatial tasks. The errors made by subjects with low reading productivity may indicate dysfunction of tone and wakefulness; of reception, processing and storage of information; and weakening of hemispheric interaction.
