Overview
This study explores potential ways to slow down or prevent natural aging memory decline. Physical exercise was shown to improve blood flow to areas of the brain associated with memory, while cognitive training improved participants’ ability to extract broad meaning from text, pinpoint relevant details, and retrieve from their memory. Further studies would be necessary to determine the effectiveness of these interventions in non-healthy humans, such as those with cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s
Table 2 displays the cognitive strategies that were addressed in each training session for the participants.
