About this course
Concerns about forgetfulness are among the most common cognitive complaints observed in outpatient care. Understanding what constitutes “normal” memory and how to assess and respond to it when it goes awry is essential. This online CE course for mental health professionals will look at what can be expected from normal, healthy memory functioning in adulthood and as a person ages. For over a hundred years we have known the basic features of memory function. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of knowledge about the brain structures (e.g., hippocampus) and networks engaged in memory and learning. Building on a brief foundational overview of this evidence, this course will help guide mental health providers in determining when a memory problem is part of normal aging, when it is a feature of brain disease, and---perhaps most importantly---when it is in the uncertain zone between the two? Common clinical syndromes of memory loss are discussed along with well-known, important case histories. How these syndromes compare to the clinical features of dementia, as well as strategies and common test instruments used to assess memory functioning are reviewed. Finally, the course explores how we can improve or enhance our memory functioning and/or hold off the weaknesses that result from normal aging through the use of aids in our everyday lives.
