What feature of smartphones can slow down memory decline?

Reminders⁢ on your phone⁤ can really help ⁣clear up‌ your brain and can mitigate ⁢age-related memory decline.

As Day.Az reports, this⁢ was shown by a study published in the journal Psychology and​ Aging.

Scientists conducted two experiments⁣ involving young and elderly⁤ people. They were given specific tasks,⁤ for example, they had to respond to certain words. At first they did it on their own, and then with on-screen reminders. The ​results showed that in the presence‌ of ‍reminders, the memory ⁢of young‍ and old people was almost the same. This suggests that ​reminders can reduce mental​ stress. With such unloading, it becomes easier for older​ people to find the necessary⁣ facts in their memory.

In the ⁣second ​experiment, the⁤ tasks ​were more difficult. Participants recognized categories, such as animals or ​fruits, rather than specific words. ​Older people had greater difficulty performing​ these tasks.⁢ But on-screen reminders improved older people’s performance to match that of⁤ younger⁤ people.

The authors noted that digital‌ tools, such as phone ‌reminders or personal digital assistants, ‌can be⁢ valuable tools for older adults in managing their daily tasks (taking medications, making doctor’s appointments) and maintaining household independence.
