The efficiency of memory usually begins to degenerate after people are over 30 years old because of the circle of brain’s cognitive performances (Svoboda, 2009). Each cognitive performance is changed with increasing age. Some cognitive performance is generated in older people, such as Semantic memory, Crystallized intelligence, and Emotional reasoning (Yue, 2013).
