Brain Fitness program improves memory for Greenwood seniors

May 20, 2009

Fifteen Greenwood seniors have participated in the PositScience Brain Fitness program in the past year and have reported the overall outcome of the program has been positive.

Described as taking one’s brain to the gym for a workout, the Brain Fitness program at the Greenwood Senior Center is designed to strengthen specific areas of the brain.

Those who have participated have said they feel an improvement in memory as well as an increase in energy and mood elevation.

“The exercises in the Brain Fitness program target the auditory and verbal memory systems of the brain,” said Peter Delahunt, Ph.D. “It should be noted that auditory and memory processing is distributed across many areas of the brain. However, the following areas are of particular importance.”

Requiring participants to commit about 40 hours during a 12 week span, time is set aside for each participant to work at their own convenience in the senior center computer lab.

Personal assistance coaches are available on-hand.

For more information or to make an appointment to experience the various exercises in the program call Liz at 297-0875.

Brain Fitness and Growth

I have been working in the brain fitness space since 2001 and we have come along way. There has been significant scientific studies over the last 5 years that illustrate how we can maintain and develop our cognitive skills through our lifespan. Our company has started to launch pilots that provide more efficacy to our software. I truly believe the next 5 years will see a lot of positive developments in this area.

PositScience Brain Fitness Programs

I use both Posit Science brain fitness games. They are the InSight and Brain Fitness Program Classic.

InSight improves the way you take information in from your eyes. It improves your visual memory. It widens your useful field of view. It helps you keep up with fast action when watching sports or an action movie.

It is scientifically proven to reduce driving crash risk by 50% among other proven benefits. The best part is that it helps seniors drive longer.

The Brain Fitness Program Classic improves the information you take in from your ears. These games push your brain to hear sounds clearer. Some of the benefits include being able to remember what you hear better. Hearing better in a noisy room.

This program is scientifically proven to improve your memory by up to 10 years.

When you tune up your brain, other things get easier, like learning new things. Even the grocery store is easier and faster because you can spot what you need quicker.

It's great to enhance your quality of life. Especially for older people.
