Impact of speed cognitive training on the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/trc2.70197

I’m wondering if there’s a way to speed train on Lingq. It would be a great, peer-reviewed, research-supported addition.

I asked ChatGPT to explain the “speed cognitive training” (see the image below), and I don’t see how this could apply to LingQ. Video games seem to be a much better tool for this goal.

That being said, … seeing how the world and the climate are inexorably turning to $hit, I don’t think avoiding Alzheimer is such a good idea**. Seriously.

** except for your loved ones.

So I’m not the only one who looks with astonishment at the world today. Twenty years ago, if you had described the world of today, they’d have considered you a lunatic and fantasist and locked you up.

Exercise and language learning do seem to delay the onset of dementia. I say dementia, because Alzeimer’s is only one form. Incidentally, it is thought that the patient who was first described as having what we now refer to as Alzeimer’s probably had a different kind of dementia.
