BBC News reports today on a study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University suggesting that having highly developed language skills early in life might somehow neutralize the effects of physical brain problems in later life that typically produce the symptoms of dementia.
Researchers
"analysed essays that 14 of the women wrote as they entered the convent in their late teens or early 20s, assessing them for complexity of language and grammar. The study showed that language scores were 20% higher in women without memory problems than those with signs of a malfunctioning memory."
