29、emory loss,according to a study by investigators at Georgetown University Medical Center.The study tested declarative memory in 704 older adults (5898 years of age).Declarative memory refers to our ability to remember events,facts,and words,such as where you put your keys or the name of that new nei
30、ghbor.The investigators found that their memory performance became progressively worse with aging.However,more years of early-life education countered these losses,especially in women.For example,the declarative memory abilities of an 80-year-old woman with a bachelors degree would be as good as tho
31、se of a 60-year-old woman with a high school education.So,four extra years of education make up for the memory losses from 20 years of aging.“Simply said,learning brings about learning,” says the studys senior investigator,Michael Ullman.“Since learning new information in declarative memory is easie

55、The minute I learned some facts about my new teacher was the minute my worry button finally switched off.Abuela also suggested I make a list of my worries,and that helped too.Being able to see my worries on paper made it much easier to talk about them and to plan ahead.I realized I needed to prepare
