Welcome to Learning English. This is As It Is! Im Anna Matteo.
On todays show we will talk about ... wait a minute. What was I going to talk about? I was just about to say... oh, yes memory!
When we are young, we expect to remember things easily. But as we age, it gets harder and harder to remember things.
Later in the show, we will talk about how some popular drinks may help keep your memory sharp and active.
But first, we talk about another way to improve memory. Researchers have found that an aging brain does not have to lose its ability to remember. All it takes is some training and exercises. We have a useful expression for that: Use it or lose it!
Here is Christopher Cruise with more.
Cognitive Training and Memory
Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills.
A recently published study also appears to demonstrate that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep them. The people were part of a 10-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.
