Better Memory With Literacy Acquisition Later in Life

University of California, San Francisco·interventional·Posted Jul 16, 2020·Updated Jul 16, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Literacy training and Non-Literacy training for Memory Impairment. Completed, enrolled 108 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study aims to discover whether acquiring basic-literacy in adulthood can improve episodic memory and brain structural and functional connectivity. In a collaborative project between Brazil and USA, the investigators will use a randomized controlled trial approach to leverage the level of evidence of the benefits of basic adult-education as a possible cognitive reserve builder. If successful, the study's findings will be important in shaping policies targeting increasing access to late-life education to reduce dementia risk.
