- Abstract
Although the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of memories was once thought to happen within a single memory system with multiple processes operating on it, it is now believed that memory is comprised of both distinct and interacting brain systems [[1]]. Recent work suggests that acute exercise can improve memory in older adults [[23]], and, for select memory systems (e.g., working memory), acute exercise may improve memory for individuals across the adult lifespan [[52]]. Collectively, these reviews suggest that, from the most recent experimental work on this topic, utilizing more robust designs and considering potential moderators that have been shown to influence effect sizes (e.g., memory type and timing of acute exercise in reference to the memory task [[24]]), acute exercise may be effective in enhancing post-exercise memory. In a 2012 quantitative review, Chang et al. [[14]] also showed null effects for post-exercise memory, but a different story unfolded when evaluating distinct memory systems across exercise paradigms (i.e., including memory during exercise and memory after exercise).
