Far less is understood about behaviors that contribute to the optimally aging mind. This may be a reason why only about 25% of elders meet the standards for optimal cognitive aging. \u003cem\u003eThe Aging Intellect\u003c\/em\u003e describes more than a dozen specific characteristics that distinguish older people who remain cognitively vigorous from the majority who are aging normally or are at risk for cognitive impairment. In addition, this book provides professionals with evidence-based recommendations that can help their aging patients and clients minimize the effects of predictable cognitive changes and more fully use their mental abilities. \u003cem\u003eThe Aging Intellect\u003c\/em\u003e is also written for people of all ages interested in maximizing their cognitive vigor. Dr. Powell has encouraging words for those who know they are not aging optimally, but are willing to modify one or two habits that can improve their mental powers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated with clinical examples and case studies, \u003cem\u003eThe Aging Intellect\u003c\/em\u003e includes topics rarely discussed in book form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003especifies lifestyle habits and attitudes linked to three levels of cognitive aging: optimal, normal, and at risk for cognitive impairment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edescribes evidence based strategies that minimize mental decline\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ewarns of normal cognitive changes that increase the chances of elders making poor financial decisions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentifies intellectual qualities that strengthen with age.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45576327987438,"sku":"9780415996853","price":218.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/aging-intellect-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
