About this Research Topic
The importance of psychological factors in preventing dementia has become increasingly recognized. This research topic highlights the growing understanding of how emotional well-being, cognitive activities, and social interactions impact the development of dementia. This provides an opportunity to delve into the nuanced psychological aspects that contribute to risk reduction and prevention strategies.
The goal of this research topic is to uncover the complex psychological factors that contribute to preventing dementia. Through studying emotional resilience, cognitive training, and psychosocial interventions, the contributors hope to gain a thorough understanding of the psychological processes that can delay, reduce, or even prevent the onset of dementia. With the advancements in psychology and neuroscience, there are now opportunities to utilize psychological interventions to promote optimal cognitive health throughout one's life.
This Research Topic is focused on the psychological aspects of dementia prevention. It covers the following areas:
a. Emotional Resilience and Cognitive Health: This section explores how emotional resilience contributes to cognitive well-being and its role in delaying the onset of dementia.
b. Cognitive Engagement and Brain Fitness: It investigates cognitive interventions like brain-training activities and cognitive stimulation, and how they can potentially reduce dementia risk.
c. Psychosocial Interventions: This section delves into psychosocial interventions that enhance social engagement, emotional support, and overall psychological well-being as preventive measures against dementia.
d. Cognitive Reserve and Lifestyle Choices: This section examines the concept of cognitive reserve and how lifestyle choices impact cognitive resilience, highlighting the role of psychological factors.
e. Early Interventions and Lifespan Approach: This section discusses the significance of early psychological interventions in promoting cognitive health across different stages of life.
We welcome various types of manuscripts, including empirical research, theoretical articles, literature reviews, and case studies, that focus on the psychological intricacies of dementia prevention.
World Alzheimer's Month, held annually in September, is an international campaign to raise awareness and highlight issues faced by people affected by dementia. This Research Topic expands on this year’s topic, 'Never too early, never too late', a campaign that emphases on identifying risk factors and adopting proactive measures to reduce the risk of dementia and delay its onset.
