"I Remember the Fall": Memory of Falls in Older Adults.

CONCLUSIONS: The negative emotional valence of memories of falls, as well as their ability to trigger significant levels of mental time travel, visual imagery, importance, and rehearsal, demonstrate how these memories are different from other memories in older adults. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The findings demonstrate how falls can modulate memory of personal events in older adults. PMID: 32631209 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
