Study: Learning New Skills Keeps Aging Mind Sharp.
A new study shows that elderly adults who challenge their minds with
increasingly difficult tasks maintain cognitive functioning better than
those who do less demanding activities.
To keep our brains sharp as we age, we are often told to keep our minds active; “use it or lose it.” There actually is little scientific evidence to support that, however, according to psychologist Denise Park of the University of Texas at Dallas.
“Partially because it is very, very hard to do experiments with humans, where you randomly assign them to conditions where, say, you retire young, you do not retire; you do interesting things, you do boring things,” said Park.
