The article Brain Magic discusses memory as we age as well as the human brain and what happens to it. In the article, it is mentioned that most people have trouble remembering names but according to Laura Carstensen, PhD, "the middle age brain is downright formidable". Remarkabl from ages 40 through 60 people do remarkable better on tests for vocabulary, spatial orientation skills, and inductive reasing than they havd when they were in their 20s. It also shows some brain excercises to practice to keep your brain up and running.
I choose this article because i thought it discussed memory very well like it talked about in chapter 6. There are many different types of memory and although they were not meantioned they did how chunking plays an important role in memory.
