Detailed explanation-1: -Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things, they don’t remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses.

Detailed explanation-2: -In old age, it takes increasingly longer to find a certain word. Researchers have discovered that this is due to a change in the use of certain networks in the brain. Not only in games, but also in conversation, we sometimes run out of words. In old age, it takes increasingly longer to find a certain word.
