College Graduates and Cognitive Resilience Graduation

New college grads may still be looking for jobs, but here’s some good news: people with higher education can anticipate a reduction in age-related cognitive decline.
The four-year degree alone is unlikely to be the reason for increased cognitive resilience forty years from now. Instead, it’s more realistic to assume that on the average, those with higher education degrees will be employed in more mentally challenging jobs over the course of their careers. As a result, these people’s brains are more active on a daily basis over the years.

April showers…require a sharp brain in the driver seat

Wet roads and stormy weather can lead to challenging driving scenarios, and having a sharp brain and strong cognitive functions can make the difference in getting to your destination safely.

The first few hours of a rainfall after a dry spell are the most dangerous, as water mixes with oil and grease build-up from the road and can create a slick surface. In addition, weather can cause decreased visibility, making it hard to judge speed, time and distance.

Real Results, Real Training, Real Research

Effective cognitive training is more than fun brain teasers and puzzles. While these can be entertaining, they will not result in the same cognitive improvements as scientifically-developed brain fitness exercises. Real-world results can only be expected from real training, backed by real science.
