Things change. With that even our bodies are changing. Our brains change, which can impact our ability to care for ourselves, form or keep relationships, or impact our work. Though things change it is important to know what changes our within the “normal” range. Though a majority of these cognitive changes may occur after the age of 65, Dementia is NOT a normal part of aging.
Areas that may NOT be affected as we age:
Intelligence: knowledge accumulated over time remains stable with age
Memory: Long term memory remains relatively preserved in old age. Short term memory is more vulnerable to aging.
Attention: Simple focused attention tasks is preserved in older age.
Language: Vocabulary is preserved as we age
Reasoning: Traditional ways of approaching situations are maintained in older persons
As we age all cognitive abilities are intact but we may need a longer time to process things, such as a problem we have never encountered before in our lifetime, but we can still figure it out!
So though things are changing, these are your Golden Years! You may have to figure out HOW the “new you” will accomplish things but you will succeed. Remember, if you need assistance, ask for help!
