NEXT MEETING - ASQ London Section 0403 presents…. Memory Loss and Facilitation with Aging Date: February
16, 2012 Location:
Best Western Stoneridge Speaker Information: Dr. David Rynard holds a doctorate (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology from the University of Ottawa, where his research focused on cognitive and social difficulties in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. He also has a master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc) degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Waterloo where his research investigated the treatment of developmental reading disorders. Registered as a psychologist in the province of Ontario since 1992, Dr. Rynard works with children and adults in Southwestern Ontario with learning, social and attention difficulties providing both assessment and counselling services for these difficulties. In addition, he is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Western Ontario and consultant to the Regional Assessment and Resource Centre at Queen's University in Kingston. He is also the past consulting psychologist to the Millennium Project at Fanshawe College, part of the Learning Opportunities Task Force, a multidisciplinary enhanced service for post-secondary students with learning disabilities in Ontario. Dr. Rynard is a pioneer in utilizing working memory training as an evidence based treatment for problems with short-term memory and children and adults in the London area, and is a much sought after clinician and speaker with respect to human cognition and memory. Topic: Memory loss and facilitating memory function as we age. As we age, we are all concerned about the slow deterioration in both our physical and cognitive health. Everyday we hear about the importance of a good diet, exercise, a good night sleep, etc as important life style habits that facilitate physical and mental health. Memory - a key component of cognitive function, performance and cognition - also deteriorates as we age, and can be experienced as word finding difficulties, slowed cognition and attention problems. Recent research by cognitive psychologists has demonstrated that memory, like muscular strength, is a skill and can be developed and enhanced. It appears that the old adage, " if you don't use it, you lose it" holds very true for memory and other cognitive abilities. Dr. Rynard will speak to and answer questions from our group about memory: how it works, how it is a key component to our focus and attentional capacities, what factors we know that can add to it's deterioration, and what kinds of things we can do to exercise and enhance our memory to facilitate information processing. 7:00
