Older Adults Show Reduced High Frequency Power in Both Recent and Remote Spatial Memory Retrieval Compared to Younger Adults

Key Points

• To evaluate differences in high frequency power during spatial memory retrieval between older and younger adults.
• Compared high frequency power during spatial memory tasks between age groups
• Measured recent and remote spatial memory retrieval
• Analyzed cognitive performance alongside neurophysiological data
• Older adults exhibited reduced high frequency power during spatial memory retrieval
• Differences were observed for both recent and remote memories
• Findings suggest a potential compensation mechanism in older adults' spatial navigation skills
