Memory loss should not happen in normal ageing. With increasing age, as our other body organs tend to have reduced function, similarly brain functions also become slow. Hence, some amount of slowness in recalling things is normal and to be expected. However, inability to recognise faces, forgetting ways well known earlier etc mean significant memory loss and a cause to this has to be found out after a clinical examination and investigations. Thanks.
