Chinese classics recitation training for memory concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether practicing reciting Chinese classics can help people with memory worries. You'll need to be at least 60 and have some everyday memory concerns (like forgetting names or where things are placed), but no diagnosed memory disorder. The training may help you feel more in control of your memory.
