About this listen
Assistive technologies are becoming essential lifelines that support connectivity and social presence. But how do they impact cognitive functions like memory and attention, and how does their impact shift as we age?
In this episode, we explore the intersections of AI and cognitive psychology; a field where technology is revolutionizing everything from the early diagnosis of cognitive decline to the use of gamified brain training and AI social companions.
We are joined by cognitive psychologist Mary Bennett, who offers a rare dual perspective. Together, we unpack:
The Vital Connection: How technology keeps older adults cognitively healthy and socially integrated.
Cognitive Enhancement: The real-world impact of digital tools on memory, focus, and overall brain health.
The Divide: Why the same technology may impact users in vastly different ways.
Personal Insight: Mary shares her professional expertise alongside her own lived experience navigating the world with assistive technologies.
