The working memory advantage : train your brain to function stronger, smarter, faster / by Alloway, Tracy Packiam.(CARDINAL)477962; Alloway, Ross.(CARDINAL)402138;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-324) and index.Pt. I. Working memory : the connected intelligence -- pt. II. Working memory across the lifespan -- pt. III. Working memory and expertise -- pt. IV. Working memory and the body -- pt. V. Working memory and decision making -- pt. VI. The future of working memory : training.Working memory -- the conscious processing of information -- is increasingly recognized as one of the most important aspects of intelligence. This fundamental cognitive skill is deeply connected to a great variety of human experience -- from our childhood, to our old age, from our evolutionary past, to our digital future. In this volume, leading psychologists review the latest research on working memory and consider what role it plays in development and over the lifespan. It is revealed how a strong working memory is connected with success (academically and acquiring expertise) and a poor working memory is connected with failure (addictive behavior and poor decision-making). The contributions also show how working memory played a role in our cognitive evolution and how the everyday things we do, such as what we eat and how much we sleep, can have an impact on how well it functions. Finally, the evidence on whether or not working memory training is beneficial is explored.

Aging together : dementia, friendship, and flourishing communities / by McFadden, Susan H.,author.(CARDINAL)810489; McFadden, John T.,author.(CARDINAL)790283;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Never in human history have there been so many people entering old age -- roughly one-third of whom will experience some form of neurodegeneration as they age. This seismic demographic shift will force us all to rethink how we live and deal with our aging population.Susan H. McFadden and John T. McFadden propose a radical reconstruction of our societal understanding of old age. Rather than categorize elders based on their respective cognitive consciousness, the McFaddens contend that the only humanistic, supportive, and realistic approach is to find new ways to honor and recognize the dignity, worth, and personhood of those journeying into dementia. Doing so, they argue, counters the common view of dementia as a personal tragedy shared only by close family members and replaces it with the understanding that we are all living with dementia as the baby boomers age, early screening becomes more common, and a cure remains elusive. The McFaddens' inclusive vision calls for social institutions, especially faith communities, to search out and build supportive, ongoing friendships that offer hospitality to all persons, regardless of cognitive status. Drawing on medicine, social science, philosophy, and religion to provide a broad perspective on aging, Aging Together offers a vision of relationships filled with love, joy, and hope in the face of a condition that all too often elicits anxiety, hopelessness, and despair"--Provided by publisher.

Age later : healthspan, lifespan, and the new science of longevity / by Barzilai, Nir,author.; Robino, Toni,author.(CARDINAL)707354;
Includes index."How do some people avoid the slowing down, deteriorating, and weakening that plagues many of their peers decades earlier? Are they just lucky? Or do they know something the rest of us don't? Is it possible to grow older without getting sicker? What if you could look and feel fifty through your eighties and nineties? Founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and one of the leading pioneers of longevity research, Dr. Nir Barzilai's life's work is tackling the challenges of aging to delay and prevent the onset of all age-related diseases including "the big four": diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. One of Dr. Barzilai's most fascinating studies features volunteers that include 750 SuperAgers-individuals who maintain active lives well into their nineties and even beyond-and, more importantly, who reached that ripe old age never having experienced cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or cognitive decline. In Age Later, Dr. Barzilai reveals the secrets his team has unlocked about SuperAgers and the scientific discoveries that show we can mimic some of their natural resistance to the aging process. This eye-opening and inspirational book will help you think of aging not as a certainty, but as a phenomenon-like many other diseases and misfortunes-that can be targeted, improved, and even cured"--

Unaging : the four factors that impact how you age / by Friedland, Robert P.,author.(CARDINAL)859288;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Aging is not inevitable, it is an opportunity -- The theory of the multiple reserve factors -- The brain is not an organ, it is the master -- Memory and cognition -- The neurodegenerative diseases of aging -- Stroke and vascular cognitive impairment -- Other dementias -- Our microbiota and how to do gene therapy in the kitchen -- The health of the body and your physical reserve factor -- Depression, anxiety and what good is feeling bad? -- Genetics aren't everything -- Overview -- Physical activity -- Whole body health -- Mental activity -- Psychological measures -- Social factors -- Dealing with stress -- Sleep -- Diet -- Microbial considerations -- Dental care -- Dealing with doctors and drugs -- Hazardous behaviors -- Toxic exposures -- Considerations for society and the future of aging -- Our attitude and the opportunity of aging.Aging is a subject of concern to everyone, but is widely misunderstood. If we view it as inevitable, we miss the fact that not everyone is able to grow to an old age. Realization of this reality helps us to understand that aging presents a wonderful opportunity - an opportunity to make choices about how we live which can enhance the aging process and offer a chance to live to our potential. This book clearly presents the four, multiple reserve, factors (cognitive, physical, psychological and social) which impact our ability to have healthy responses to the stresses of aging. By giving the biological basis for the advice given, you will learn the steps to take in your activities, diet and mental outlook to grasp the opportunity that aging offers. Everyone must know that what we do makes a difference.

Smart parenting, smarter kids : the one brain book you need to help your child grow brighter, healthier, and happier / by Walsh, David Allen.(CARDINAL)367628;
MARCIVE 7/05/11Includes bibliographical references and index.Our children's amazing brains -- How to raise your child's IQ -- How the brain listens, speaks, reads, and writes -- Memory, attention, and the rule of seven -- Brain food : nutrition and the brain -- Play is serious business -- Brain workouts : why exercise is critical -- Your brain's at work while you snooze -- Self-discipline : the key to success -- A brain under construction : the adolescent years -- Boy and girl brains : what's the difference? -- Stress and the brain -- Cyber brains : parenting in an online world -- Wired differently : special needs brains, mental illness, and chemical use -- Brain-wise daycare, preschool, and school decisions -- The 21st-century parent.When children are guided in healthy ways, their minds blossom and they are able to reach their full potential--academically, socially, physically, and emotionally. In his previous bestseller, Why Do They Act That Way?, Dr. David Walsh, an expert at translating cutting-edge neuroscience findings into practical parenting suggestions, showed how to manage the difficult teenage years by understanding how the adolescent brain develops. Now he's written a complete guide to parenting from birth through the teen years, with recommendations that will help maximize any child's potential. Some discoveries in neuroscience confirm age-old parental wisdom, while others may prompt you to make immediate changes; still other brain discoveries help explain behaviors that have puzzled parents forever. This book doesn't just describe new findings or explain interesting facts--it equips parents with usable information across a range of topics, like exercise, nutrition, play, sleep, stress, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and connection.--From publisher description.

Successful aging [large print] : a neuroscientist explores the power and potential of our lives / by Levitin, Daniel J.,author.(CARDINAL)667827;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 665-848) and index.Author of the iconic bestsellers This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind, Daniel Levitin turns his keen insights to what happens in our brains as we age, why we should think about health span, not life span, and, based on a rigorous analysis of neuroscientific evidence, what you can do to make the most of your seventies, eighties, and nineties today no matter how old you are now. Successful Aging uses research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences to show that sixty-plus years is a unique developmental stage that, like infancy or adolescence, has its own demands and distinct advantages. Levitin looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people's wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical, cognitive enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age. The book is packed with accessible and discussable takeaways, providing great material for reading groups and media coverage. Successful Aging inspires a powerful new approach to how readers think about our final decades, and it will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals, family members, and citizens within a society where the average life expectancy continues to rise.
