5 Things People Say About Brain Training for Cognitive Decline
Strengthening cognitive skills as an adult is an important piece in protecting your brain function as you age. Research shows that mental stimulation is one of the biggest factors in protecting your brain as you age, and brain training’s targeted approach offers some unique benefits.
If you suspect a family member or yourself to be dealing with some level of memory loss or cognitive decline, it’s important to talk to your doctor quickly. Early intervention is key to prevent faster decline, and there are medical reasons for memory loss that should be addressed.
Everyone can benefit from having cognitive skills that are strong and efficient. Here are 5 of the common things we hear from adults who have completed our brain training programs for cognitive decline:
Client Testimonials About Brain Training for Cognitive Decline*:
Stronger focus, ability to tune out distractions, and better multitasking
As we get older, it tends to get harder to stay engaged and focused on tasks, especially in noisy or busy environments. The targeted training at LearningRx leans into this weakness by using purposeful distractions, a busy environment, and gradually extending the length of time we spend on certain tasks in a session.
Improved memory and faster recall
As one client said, their “signs of memory loss have been kept at bay.” Research on LearningRx brain training programs shows that the rate of cognitive decline improved in patients with age-related cognitive impairment after they completed their programs.*
Many adults struggle to get the right word, feel like they’re losing their edge, or rely on reminders to get through the day. Building up memory, attention, and thinking speed is a great way to make these tasks easier and faster!
Better visual-spatial awareness and sense of direction
Struggling with directions and spatial awareness is one of the common early signs of cognitive decline. Many clients report better ability to know where they’re going, how to put things together, and maybe even remembering where you park in a busy parking lot!
More confidence and better ability to participate in life
In this testimonial you can hear a woman who completed brain training share how her cognitive decline was robbing her of her interest in engaging with friends, traveling, and working. After brain training, she’s an active member of her community again and loves working and being active!
Greater confidence and self-sufficiency are common things that clients report. Strong brain skills make a world of difference for individuals of all ages!
Better problem-solving and critical thinking
One local graduate states that, “I can think and plan and reason and remember much better than I could before.” Another shares that her mom, who has fairly advanced dementia, is better able to pivot and make changes (even for things like putting her shoes on the right feet). Logic and problem solving skills are so important for independent, confident living, and it’s a cornerstone of every training program we have at LearningRx.
