Music has been known to affect those with dementia and Alzheimer’s, but why it has an
effect on these patients has not always been clear – until now.
Music Helps Dementia Patients Recall Memories and Emotions
A recent study shows that dementia and Alzheimer’s patients can recall memories and emotions, and have enhanced mental performance after singing classic hits and show tunes from movies and musicals – a
breakthrough in understanding how music affects those with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Researchers determined the effect music has on dementia patients, by leading half of the participants through selected songs while the
other half listened to the music being played.
After the musical treatment, all participants took cognitive ability and life satisfaction tests. which showed how participants scored
significantly better when being lead through songs, rather than only listening.
Here are five reasons why researchers believe that music boosts brain activity:
1. Music evokes emotions that bring
memories.
Music can evoke emotion in even the most advanced of Alzheimer’s patients. Neurologist Oliver Sacks says that, “Music evokes emotion,
and emotion can bring with it memory… it brings back the feeling of life when nothing else can.” By pairing music with every day
activities, patients can develop a rhythm that helps them to the recall the memory of that activity, improving cognitive ability over time.
2. Musical aptitude and appreciation; are two of the last remaining abilities in dementia patients.
Linda Maguire, lead author on the study wrote, “Musical aptitude and music appreciation are two of the last remaining abilities in patients with Alzheimer’s.”
Because these two abilities remain long after other abilities have passed, music is an excellent way to reach beyond the disease and
reach the person.
3. Music can bring emotional and physical closeness.
In the later stages of dementia, patients often lose the ability to share emotions with caregivers. Through music, as long as they
are ambulatory, they can often dance. Dancing can lead to hugs, kisses and touching which brings security and memories.
4. Singing is engaging.
The singing sessions in the study engaged more than just the brain and the area related to singing. As singing activated the left side of
the brain, listening to music sparked activity in the right and watching the class activated visual areas of the brain. With so much of the brain being stimulated, the patients were
exercising more mind power than usual.
5. Music can shift mood, manage stress and stimulate positive interactions.
The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America has an entire web page dedicated to music therapy in
Alzheimer’s patients. They say that, “When used appropriately, music can shift mood,
manage stress-induced agitation, stimulate positive interactions, facilitate cognitive function and coordinate motor movements.”
This is because music requires little to no mental processing, so singing music does not require the cognitive function that is not present in most dementia patients.

Basic: Why you forget things so easily. Example: this blog name..

Memory slips is a bad omen and devastating, aggravating, frustrating, and sometimes worrisome. When they happen more than they should, they can trigger fears of looming dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
This article would orientate on basic reasons you forget things easily.

Read this:
There are many but, Here are seven common ones.
Lack of sleep. Not getting enough sleep is perhaps the greatest unappreciated cause of memory slips. Too little restful sleep can also
lead to mood changes and anxiety, which in turn contribute to problems with memory.
Medications. Tranquilizers, antidepressants, some blood pressure drugs, and other medications can affect memory, usually by causing sedation or confusion. That can make it difficult to pay close attention to new things. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if
you suspect that a new medication is taking the edge off your memory. As shown in the
table below, alternatives are usually available.

Underactive thyroid. A faltering thyroid can affect memory (as well as disturb sleep and cause depression, both of which contribute to
memory slips). A simple blood test can tell if your thyroid is doing its job properly.
Alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can interfere with short-term memory, even after the effects of alcohol have worn off. Although
“too much” varies from person to person, it’s best to stick with the recommendation of no more than two drinks per day for men and no
more than one a day for women. One drink is.generally defined as 1.5 ounces (1 shot glass) of 80-proof spirits, 5 ounces of wine, or 12
ounces of beer.
Stress and anxiety. Anything that makes it harder to concentrate and lock in new information and skills can lead to memory problems. Stress and anxiety fill the bill. Both can interfere with attention and block the
formation of new memories or the retrieval of old ones.
Depression. Common signs of depression include a stifling sadness, lack of drive, and lessening of pleasure in things you ordinarily
enjoy. Forgetfulness can also be a sign of depression—or a consequence of it.
If memory lapses are bugging you, it’s worth a conversation with your doctor to see if any reversible causes are at the root of the problem. Something like getting more sleep,
switching a medication, or a stress reduction program could get your memory back on track.

Solving/watching video puzzles and games could help children memories.

Video puzzle games which exercise a child's working memory were found to enhance abstract reasoning and problem solving skills significantly, researchers from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They added that the improvements persisted for at least three months after they stopped playing the games.
The authors found that giving the brain a daily workout really can improve wits and intelligence.
Video game makers have always promoted the cognitive skill training children can benefit from by playing some games. Studies never seem to agree on whether this claim is really true.
Psychologist Susanne M. Jaeggi, PhD. and team set out to determine what effects video games might have on the brain. Of 62 elementary and middle school children, 32 were trained for fifteen minutes five times a week for a month on a computerized task while the other 30 practiced general knowledge and vocabulary tasks. The video games tested working memory - this involves holding information while you solve a problem.
The researchers found that only the children who had been involved in the brain-training video games had clear improvements in abstract reasoning and problem solving - and these improvements persisted for three months after the training stopped.
In the working memory games, which were adaptations from a game aimed at older users, the kids had to follow and remember a sequence of positions on a grid, recognize a pattern and respond to questions about it. Each successfully completed sequence was followed by a longer one - the game progressively challenges the child's ability to hold data in his/her brain, as well as spatial information.
The game requires total concentration, in some cases for stretches of over a minute long. They have to be able to block out distractions while concentrating on a single task.
The authors stressed that the children who benefited the most were those who really needed them, as well as kids who do not find these types of games frustrating.
Jaeggi said parents should beware of pushing their children too far, as is often the case with sports and musical performance. It is important to get the right balance between too much and too little.
Children with good working memory find it easier to remember teacher instructions, are better able to focus on classroom tasks, and are not easily distracted, the authors explained.
The authors concluded:
"We propose that future research should not investigate whether cognitive training works, but rather should determine what training regimens and what training conditions result in the best transfer effects, investigate the underlying neural and cognitive mechanisms, and finally, investigate for whom cognitive training is most useful."
Working memory
Working memory , also referred to as short-term (recent) memory is a system of storing and managing the information needed to perform complex cognitive tasks, such as comprehension, reasoning, and learning. It involves the selection, initiation and termination of data retrieval, storage, encoding, and other information-processing functions.
An example of a working memory test is memory span. For example, the examiner reads a list of random numbers out loud; about one number per second. The listener has to recall them in order. Most people's memory spans are limited to approximately 7 numbers.
George Armitage Miller, psychologist and author of. " The magical number seven, plus or minus two," found that typical memory span capacities for young adults were seven digits, six letters, or about five words.
Some studies have shown that a child's working memory at 5 years of age is a better predictor of academic success than IQ.
