I Have Decided to Read Out Loud for the Rest of My Life! Cognitive Health and the StrongerMemory Program
The StrongerMemory program aims to improve cognitive health in older adults through three daily brain exercises stimulating the prefrontal cortex: reading aloud, writing, and math activities. The brain’s prefrontal cortex governs memory retrieval, decision-making, concentration, planning, insight, and judgment. This paper reports on focus groups conducted to understand participants’ perspectives of the StrongerMemory program and their continuatio…
Can brain exercises mitigate cognitive decline? A quasi-experimental evaluation of the StrongerMemory program
The StrongerMemory program, a structured intervention involving reading aloud, writing by hand, and completing simple math problems, is designed to stimulate the prefrontal cortex and enhance cognitive functioning. This study addresses a research gap by evaluating a multi-modal cognitive intervention compared to traditional single-domain approaches. It aligns with emerging frameworks emphasizing population-informed, personalized cognitive trainin…
Teaching Note—Student Satisfaction With an Integrative Research Learning Environment
The Social Work integrative Research Lab (SWiRL) provides opportunities for undergraduate students to engage meaningfully with research and allows graduate students to develop mentoring skills. We conducted a survey of alumni (N=20) to learn whether: a) alumni endorsed the benefits of participation and b) SWiRL experiences contributed to professional development. We also conducted a social network analysis (N=16) of current participants to explor…
