Ordinary memory, such as remembering names, is what people think they want more of, but Gordon (neurology and cognitive science, Johns Hopkins U.) and health and medical writer Berger say that the important memory, what they call intelligent memory, allows people to think more quickly, anticipate problems, and get jokes when everyone else does. They say intelligent memory can be strengthened with advancing age and improved by experience, unlike ordinary memory, which weakens with age.
