Arlington (US): A recent study has shown that setting reminders can reverse some age-related memory deficits. The findings represent a significant breakthrough in tackling the cognitive issues that older persons confront, particularly in the context of prospective memory, such as taking medication or attending appointments.
"Prospective memory is essential for daily living and maintaining independence, especially as people age," said Hunter Ball, associate professor of psychology at UTA and lead author of the study. "Failing to remember these forward-looking tasks can lead to serious consequences, and previous research has shown that prospective memory tends to decline with age."
