You will also learn how to motivate participants to engage in cognitive stimulation programs and other activities.
Learning Objectives
- Be able to screen potential participants to determine the appropriateness of a cognitive stimulation program and level of program difficulty that would be appropriate for a potential participant.
- Be able to describe optimal class size and frequency, as a function of class level, setting, and number of instructors.
- Know strategies to increase participants’ motivation to engage in activities.

Be able to list many modifiable lifestyle behaviors that are associated with memory ability in older adulthood. 2. Be able to describe how the Reserve Hypothesis can explain the observations that people who are more cognitively active are less likely to show symptoms of memory impairment. 3.

Volume 3: How the Brain Makes Memories, Controls Behavior, and is Related to Many Common Problem Behaviors In this presentation, you will learn how the various lobes of the brain help control mental processes. In particular the role of attention and concentration (i.e., executive functioning) in the lives of aging adults will be discussed. Also, valuable information about enhancing executive functioning in order to maximize quality of life, in people who already have memory impairment, will be discussed. Learning Objectives
- Be able to help people with memory impairment process information at a deeper level in order to encode new memories.
- Be able to describe what lobes of the brain handle basic cognitive functions (e.g., attention, language, vision, and planning).
- Be able to describe different behaviors and interventions that can improve executive functioning (i.e., attention, inhibition, and planning).
