DALLAS (January 26, 2021) - Many people believe that they can t change their brains, or that their brain health will inevitably decline as they age. But the Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART) training protocol, created by researchers and clinicians at the Center for BrainHealth®, has been demonstrated over the past two decades to improve cognitive function and psychological well-being in laboratory participants. Recent research suggests that SMART can even make long-lasting improvements to people s brain health when given outside of the lab in short, informal training sessions.
A paper detailing these findings was recently published in
