Learning Spanish Part Thirteen - Memory Part I

The truth is that as we age, some memory "deficits" begin to occur. The good news is these deficits are not necessarily set in stone nor are they irreversible. Though we cannot escape the often-inevitable loss of some cognitive functioning, like aging issues with memory, new research is showing that some age-related memory problems can be reversed with proper memory training.

This issue of memory is so important when it comes to learning a new language. We often feel completely overwhelmed at the amount of new vocabulary we need to master in order to develop a high degree of spoken fluency in the target language. But what the research shows, and what you can do about memory problems, may just surprise you.

Newer studies show some very promising hope for what used to be thought of as a hopeless situation with age-related memory problems. Older adults, it turns out, have unused resources in the left frontal cortex of the brain that can be used to compensate for normal memory loss.

There is now substantial evidence that growing old does not destroy the cognitive functioning required for memory in the frontal lobes of the brain. These new studies show older adults, as they age normally, find it more difficult to access the frontal lobes for memory functioning, something that younger people seem to utilize easily.

Younger people, when utilizing memory, seem to use the frontal left cortex almost exclusively for memory function. Older adults seem to gradually decline in spontaneous memory response in this area of the brain. Older adults struggle along processing memory using the parts of their brains that younger people use routinely and rapidly.

These studies provide strong support for the for the fact that though an individual may be suffering from some normal aging, no -related memory losses, if they are provided with specialized training, they can recover memory abilities once thought long lost to the aging process. The operative concept here is memory loss that is related to normal aging issues and not to an organic disease process.
