November 1 (ANI): People who feel enthusiastic and happy – what psychologists call “positive influence” – is less likely to experience memory loss when they get older. This result increases an increasing research body about the role of positive effects in healthy aging. A group of researchers analyzed data from 991 middle -aged and elderly Americans to participate in a national research conducted in three periods: from 1995 to 1996, 2004 and 2006 and 2013 and 2013 and 2014 In each assessment, the participants report on a scope of the positive emotions they have experienced in the past 30 days. In the last two reviews, participants have also completed tests on memory performance. These tests include recalling words right after presentation and again 15 minutes later. The researchers have checked the relationship between positive influence and memory impairment, age, gender, education, depression, negative and superior influence. “Our discovery shows that memory refused by age,” Claudia Haase, Associate Professor at Northwest University and senior author in the newspaper. “However, individuals with higher positive influence have reduced their memory less slope in nearly a decade,” said Emily Hittner, a doctorate graduated from Northwestern University and the main author of The article. Future research areas can solve roads that can connect effectively and memory, such as physical health or social relationships.
