In the framework of the program of prevention and promotion of health and participation, which is developed from the municipal center of Social Services, on Tuesday 20 took place the third meeting ‘Taking a coffee at tertulia’ around the theme of ‘memory ‘

A group of 20 people met in the assembly hall of the senior center of the park of La Cubana, where they had the opportunity to listen to the psychologist talk about the memory and share with her doubts and fears in relation to this topic, as well as Acquire various techniques to exercise it.

The session concluded with some new learnings:

1. Memory is a capacity that if we work it we can conserve. It is a skill that we can improve with jobs and exercises.

2. For something to stay in my memory I need time, concentration, relaxation and paying attention.

3. Attention is fundamental in the activity of memory, most temporary memory losses are related to the lack of attention in what we do.

The group has developed exercises and proven that working memory increases the ability not to forget.

On Tuesday, December 4 at 4:30 pm, the following session will take place, dedicated to music therapy, to which all those interested in sharing this new proposal can attend
