Building Resilience

Creating Cognitive Reserve


Listen Later

How you process information. Problem solving. Reasoning. How you accomplish your goals. These are all cognitive skills. They impact our language skills, how we read, how we write, how we understand information we hear and how we express ourselves through speech.


When people say they're having a hard time reading, they may actually be struggling with focus or concentration, or retaining the information or processing it. It's not necessarily reading. And this. Applies to how we understand information in a conversation as well. It's not necessarily your comprehension skills—it could be your attention skills. So many of these skills are really closely integrated and that's what we work on when people have cognitive communication disorder.


Today, we're going to talk about cognitive reserve—a term that neuroscientists coined to basically understand why some individuals are able to remain cognitively healthy—and remain healthier despite biological adversity, even warding off disease, such as Alzheimer's or social adversity, like stressors or personal losses. In today's episode, we'll examine the research, as well as explore ways to expand our own cognitive reserve.



As always, you can find us on our website, http://hl-lifecoaching.com, and join our Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/thebuildingresilienceclub. See you next week!
