Beckman Institute News - Power of Positive Thinking in Older Adults

Beckman Institute News - Power of Positive Thinking in Older Adults: "power of positive thinking is a principle many older adults have heard about for most of their lives. Now cognitive aging researchers at the Beckman Institute have found that older adults with a positive belief that the cognitive effort they invest will pay off, a concept known as self-efficacy, can increase the benefit they get from cognitively enriching activities.

The paper reporting their research, Memory Self-Efficacy Predicts Responsiveness to Inductive Reasoning Training in Older Adults, by Elizabeth A. L. Stine-Morrow of the Human Perception and Performance group and the Department of Psychology, and lead author Brennan Payne from her Adult Learning Laboratory at Beckman, and their collaborators, appeared in the Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences"
