Why choose the Memory & Aging Program?


Empowers participants in their day-to-day	Provides practical tools and strategies	Scientifically-proven memory training
As we get older, we may notice changes in memory, such as forgetting the name of someone we know, misplacing our keys or wallet, or forgetting to do things we intended to do. The Memory and Aging Program is a scientifically-validated education and memory strategy training program for older adults experiencing normal age-related memory changes.	Through interactive lectures, discussion, and practical exercises, the Memory and Aging Program teaches older adults about memory changes that occur with age—what’s normal and what’s not. While also providing practical solutions to help older adults cope better in their day-to-day lives.	Created 25 years ago by Baycrest’s neuropsychologists with expertise in cognitive neuroscience and aging, updates to the Memory and Aging Program continue to be validated with scientific rigour.

Thanks to the program, I feel more confident about what’s happening in my brain. I learned not only about memory and the changes that occur with age, but also different lifestyle factors that can improve it and strategies to better remember things that I try to use every day.
