Cognitive Decline

Cognitive decline is a natural part of the aging process — as we get older, we may experience a variety of changes in our cognitive abilities, which can impact our daily lives. In this post, we will explore the types of cognitive decline experienced by aging humans.

• Memory decline: Many older adults experience some degree of memory decline, such as difficulty recalling recent events, names, or words. This can be due to changes in the brain or a decrease in attention and focus.
• Slowed processing speed: As people age, their processing speed can slow down, making it more difficult to perform tasks that require quick thinking, such as responding to unexpected events.
• Reduced attention and concentration: Older adults may have more difficulty sustaining attention and staying focused on complex tasks. They may also be more easily distracted by irrelevant information.
• Decreased ability to multitask: As people age, it can be more challenging to juggle multiple tasks at once. This can be due to a decline in working memory capacity or a reduced ability to switch attention between different tasks.
• Decline in executive function: Executive function refers to a set of mental processes that help individuals plan, organize, and carry out goal-directed behavior. As people age, they may experience a decline in executive function, making it more challenging to perform complex tasks or make decisions.

Cognitive Solutions L.C. committed to providing exceptional care to our patients, and our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to helping seniors maintain their cognitive abilities and quality of life. We offer a range of evidence-based treatments that can help slow down or even reverse cognitive decline.

Cognitive skill building is a therapeutic approach that aims to improve cognitive function through a series of exercises and activities that stimulate the brain. This treatment option can help seniors enhance their attention, memory, and reasoning abilities. At our clinic, we offer individualized cognitive skill building programs that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. Our skilled therapists will work closely with our patients to identify areas of improvement and develop a treatment plan that will help them achieve their cognitive goals. This process often begins with a neuropsychological evaluation to better understand cognitive functioning.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment option that involves using advanced technology to train the brain to function more effectively. This treatment approach involves placing sensors on the scalp that monitor brain activity and provide real-time feedback to the patient. By using this feedback, patients can learn to regulate their brainwaves, which can lead to improvements in cognitive function. Our clinic uses the latest neurofeedback technology to provide safe and effective treatment options for seniors with cognitive decline.

Working memory training is conducted using a cognitive training program known as Cogmed thatfocuses on improving working memory, which is the ability to hold and manipulate information in the
mind over short periods. This treatment approach has been shown to improve attention, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities in seniors with cognitive decline. At Cognitive Solutions L.C., we offer working memory training programs that are tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Our therapists use a range of exercises and activities to help seniors improve their working memory and enhance their cognitive function.
