Learning to Improve Your Memory

It all starts in your 40s or 50s - you start forgetting phone numbers, missing appointments, and losing objects as the process of age-related memory deterioration begins. Luckily, it can be avoided. Yes, you definitely have control in enhancing your memory and reducing or preventing memory loss - all in a natural, safe, and purely beneficial way.

Studies show that learning does wonders for your memory and overall health. Not only does learning fight depression, add to your knowledge, increase your self-esteem, and give you

purpose and enthusiasm, it also stimulates your brain’s neurons (nerve cells) and their synapses (junctions through which neurons communicate). Also, the challenges involved with learning new things triggers the production of new dendrites (arm-like branches that project from neurons and receive incoming messages from other neurons). In other words, learning keeps the brain and its functions, including those connected to information processing and storing, bustling and alive.

This mental stimulation goes a long way. A new study published in the March 2005 issue of Neuropsychology reveals that seniors who have spent years studying have better memory in their later years than those who have not dedicated years to studying. Researchers tested 33 individuals split into two groups: one group consisted of 14 adults between the ages of 18 to 30 who had 11 to 20 years of education, and the other group consisted of 19 adults aged 65 and up with 8 to 21 years of education. These individuals completed various memory tasks and their brain activity was monitored by an MRI scanner.

While results showed the obvious – that the memory of the older adults weren’t up to par with the younger individuals, they revealed other important information, too. In order to perform the tasks, young adults with high levels of education and less educated older adults used the temporal lobes of the brain (the part of the brain responsible for processing and integrating memory as well as taste, sound, sight and touch) more than the frontal lobes (the part responsible for cognitive functions and control of voluntary activity), while the highly educated older adults and the less educated younger adults used the frontal lobes more than the temporal. Through this data, researchers concluded that highly educated older adults, in order to compensate for natural memory loss, enlist the frontal lobes to deal with everyday tasks and cognitive functions which helps them in their memory performance.

This study reinforces that learning is a natural remedy. Take advantage of it and reap its benefits throughout your life. Keep learning new things and make learning part of your lifestyle. There are many activities to choose from - learning a new language, how to play an instrument or a mind-stimulating game, keeping up with current events, taking a class, starting a new hobby, trying out new recipes, etc. Just like the body needs physical stimulation through exercise, the mind needs mental stimulation through learning.

It absolutely has no drawbacks and it’s never too late to start. The capacity to learn is life-long – even people in their 70s and 80s can improve their memory through the mental stimulation caused by learning – but the sooner you start, the better. It’s a small investment for a lifetime of memories!
