The Power of Positive Attitudes: Yale Study Reveals Cognitive Restoration

A study conducted by the Yale School of Public Health found that older individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who held positive beliefs about aging were 30% more likely to recover normal cognition compared to those with negative beliefs. These positive attitudes about aging also accelerated cognitive recovery by up to two years, regardless of the severity of MCI. The study suggests that interventions targeting age beliefs could potentially increase the number of people who experience cognitive recovery.
