Memory loss like this may increase with old age for a number of reasons. As you get older, your brain can react a little slower due to neurons becoming damaged by a lack of oxygen or blood supply.

If you are worried about your symptoms, or if your memory loss is seriously affecting your lifestyle, then seek medical advice.
