With advancing age, we speak of memory loss, but this is only one of the aspects that make up the cognitive function, characterized by four brain activities that interact: memory, concentration, reasoning, and speed with which information is processed. Therefore, any kind of mental training that aims to keep the brain young must include them all. The course aims to enhance them through the Instrumental Enrichment Program (Pas) developed by Prof. Feuerstein.
