Overview
Memory is the process of storing information and then remembering it. MedlinePlus says it is normal to forget things once in a while, and that forgetting more often than other people your age may be mild cognitive impairment. Forgetting how to use a familiar object or find the way home may be a sign of a more serious problem, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, or depression.
