The Aging Brain and Cognitive Changes (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781646476312)

Cognitive changes are the changes that occur in the mental functioning of the body. As individuals age, they undergo a series of cognitive changes that can affect various aspects of their mental functioning. These changes are part of the natural aging process and can vary greatly from person to person. Generally, older adults may experience a decline in processing speed, memory recall, and executive functioning. Memory decline is common, particularly episodic memory, which involves the ability to recall specific events or experiences. However, older adults often retain their semantic memory, which encompasses general knowledge and facts. Executive functions such as planning, reasoning, and problem-solving may also decline with age, although individuals can often compensate for these changes through experience and wisdom gained over the years. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to cognitive changes. The topics included in this book on cognitive changes with ageing are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Those with an interest in this field would find this book helpful.
