Education, more general education on memory, healthy lifestyle, and compensatory strategies can improve subjective memory and prospective memory. People know more about their memory and how to use it. Why it is going wrong if it is going wrong. It seems unclear if increased mental activity late in life can affect cognitive status or stave off dementia. And this one, of course, is really one of the key factors I was trying to learn about here because this is one of the suppositions in the popular iterature that okay you’re 74 years old, you spent your life pretty much at home watching TV and you finally realize, it finally clicks, I need to be more mentally active, more physical active. Going out now at age 74, now will that change things? None of the literature studies that we reviewed actually addressed that. Yet the popular literature all focused on that, you know. A little bit of enthusiasm and then do these mind games. So there is this disconnect between popular literature and some general ideas in public about how this works versus what the literature is really telling us. There was no documented association between mind games and improved everyday function, nor between mind games and decreased risk of dementia.
