Dr. Chiaravalloti of Kessler Foundation to study effect of cognitive intervention in aging

(Kessler Foundation) Age-associated cognitive impairment affects approximately 40 percent of people aged 65 or older in the United States -- about 16 million people. Investigators at Kessler Foundation will examine the impact of the modified Story Memory Technique (mSMT) on new learning and memory abilities and measures of daily life functioning and overall quality of life, assessing both groups immediately post-treatment and at one and two years post-intervention.
