Abstract

About the Importance of Attention Training in Elderly Patients

Petr Zach

Often later in life cortical circuits inhibiting basal ganglia cease down in their activity leaving patient exposed internally to wide range of ill-mannered emotions [1]. At this point it is too late to start with rigorous attention training to alleviate their impact on behaviour. Different research groups devised manuals for attention training that could be well implemented into education even at the level of the high schools.
