How to hone your "intelligent memory," which can increase with age
Don't remember where you left the car keys, who you just spoke with, or even your own name? Without your memories and an ability to recall them, you could be in this pickle! You would be unable to know who you are and what has happened to you in the past. You would not recognize your loved ones, dearest friends, or beloved pets. You could forget anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, your favorite things. Everything!
Research studies are beginning to validate the full impact of what can be derived through challenging brain stimulation. Practically applied, this information may be able to help you strengthen at least one form of memory, improve your recall, and perhaps slow down the development of symptoms of aging in the process. It is worth a shot but you are the only one who can do it for you! This new awareness helped to trigger the writing of Taylor’s book, co-authored with Sharlet Briggs PhD, entitled Age-Proofing Your Memory.
SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
