The present study aimed to investigate memory deficits in younger and older adults. A gender equated_sample of (N = 40) adults including older (n = 20) and younger adults (n = 20) was taken from Morgah, Rawalpindi. Wechsler Memory Scale (Wechsler, 1997), Benton Visual Retention Test (Sivan, 1992), and Controlled Oral Word Association Test (Benton & Hamsher, 1976) were administered to determine the memory deficits, visual spatial and visuo-motor abilities, and verbal memory of participant. The results showed that older adults have deficits in working and visual memory. The difference in verbal memory in the two groups was nonsignificant but there was a significant decline in working memory and visual memory with the age.
