Verbal declarative memory

Cognitive Abilities

Verbal declarative memory is the ability to recall verbal information, such as words from a list or details from a story. It is one of the most studied cognitive measures.

GWAS work has identified variants linked to memory performance in older adults, including signals near genes involved in synaptic biology.

This result reflects research-level variation in memory biology and is not a cognitive test or a diagnosis of memory problems.

Sleep, stress, age, education, mood, attention, alcohol, medications, and overall health all strongly shape actual memory performance.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
