Most research on memory and aging has focused on how older adults perform worse at a particular memory task. However, researchers have also discovered that simply saying that older adults are doing the same thing, only less of it, is not always accurate. In some cases, older adults seem to be using different strategies than younger adults.
The Federal Reserve’s 2022 report on the economic well-being of U.S. households found that 6 percent of U.S. adults were unbanked. The number is higher for certain demographics, particularly low ...
Alzheimer’s-related memory loss is more than just not being able to remember someone’s name. “[We’re talking about] forgetting major events or having a loss of whole episodes,” Dr ...
The findings of this new research may have profound implications for therapeutic interventions for treating depression and memory loss in older adults. A new study demonstrates a bidirectional ...
If older adults have fewer attentional resources than younger adults, we would expect that when two tasks must be carried out at the same time, older adults' performance will decline more than that of younger adults. However, a large review of studies on cognition and aging suggest that this hypothesis has not been wholly supported. [56]
Current evidence suggests that cognition-based interventions do improve mental performance (i.e. memory, executive function, attention, and speed) in older adults and people with mild cognitive impairment. [22] Especially, immediate and delayed verbal recall resulted in higher performance gains from memory training.
Get ahead of the problem of cognitive decline before it’s too late for your loved one. American retirees with undiagnosed memory loss face tens of thousands of dollars in lost savings ...
In neurology, semantic dementia (SD), also known as semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of semantic memory in both the verbal and non-verbal domains. However, the most common presenting symptoms are in the verbal domain (with loss of word meaning).
