Is What I’m Experiencing a “Senior Moment” or Is This What Dementia Looks Like? As we age, changes in memory and thinking are common—but how do we know when these changes go beyond what’s considered “normal”? This engaging evidence-based presentation explores how age-related changes in brain structure and function affect the major cognitive domains that support independence and successful aging. Participants will learn why memory retrieval becomes more challenging, why multitasking requires greater effort, and how changes in executive function can affect planning, organization, judgment, and decision-making. The presentation also examines how aging influences language abilities, visual-spatial skills, reaction time, information processing speed, emotional regulation, and sleep architecture.
In addition, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the biological processes that contribute to cognitive aging, including neuroinflammation, vascular changes, hormonal shifts, sensory decline, oxidative stress, and reduced neuroplasticity. The program distinguishes normal age-related cognitive changes from warning signs of mild cognitive impairment and dementia, empowering individuals to recognize when further evaluation may be appropriate.
