This was an excellent lesson and I learned a lot! Now I want to know more!
What this lead me to was to consider other aspects of aging on the brain. Yes, I know that 'exercising' the brain and learning new skills (new language / musical instrument) are very good ways to stimulate neural pathways, but what else can we do adult learners who are nearing 50 and older to help them?
It's interesting, too, that research is telling us that, as we get older, the recall delays are more to do with the vast amount of information our brains have retained over the years than that the brain is getting older - a challenge of being packed rather than being old :)
