Dementia Prevention Cognitive Training: Neural Processing Efficiency Through Implicit Learning | Dr. Sydney Ceruto — MindLab Neuroscience

The emerging evidence surrounding dementia prevention represents not merely memory preservation through explicit rehearsal, but rather neural processing efficiency optimization through implicit learning mechanisms. Recent research published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions suggests cognitive speed training can reduce dementia risk by approximately 25% over two decades, with effects mediated through implicit rather than explicit learning systems. This distinction reframes cognitive maintenance from memory-focused exercises to neural efficiency enhancement—a paradigm shift with significant implications for high-performing professionals seeking to preserve cognitive capacity through neuroscience-informed approaches. ...
