For Cognitive Changes we have a term and definition in Aging.

Refers to changes in mental skills such as memory or reasoning. Studies of healthy older people seem to show that the speed of mental processes may slow down but reasoning, such as problem-solving, remains much the same as we age. Some memory ski lls such as certain types of short-term memory may decline. A major advance in research in studying cognition is that researchers now can break memory into different component parts (e.g., verbal, non-verbal).
