The results of a study led by Dr. Claudia Haase involving about 1,000 older adults over two decades showed that optimism is linked with a better memory. In general, memory does tend to decline with very old age. However, those with higher levels of positive affect—optimistic about the future, cheerful, and enthusiastic—showed fewer memory problems along with better judgement and problem-solving abilities. They were at a lower risk for memory problems with age. Optimism can be developed by being thankful morning, noon, and night for as many things as you can think of. Before long it can become a habit. Those with the most positive emotions retained a better memory with age.
