September 21st Dementia Overcoming Day...Attention to Senior Cognitive Reinforcement Learning to Protect Brain Health
Sep 17, 2025
Senior cognitive reinforcement learning is drawing attention ahead of the 'Dementia Overcoming Day' on September 21.
Senior education seems to be becoming a new lifelong learning model in an aging society by developing into professional learning that protects brain health beyond simple hobbies and liberal arts.
According to the National Medical Center's Central Dementia Center, the estimated number of dementia patients aged 65 or older last year was 1,052,977, exceeding 1 million for the first time.
As dementia is difficult to cure after an outbreak, management and early prevention in life are key. Experts stress that steady brain stimulation and social interaction are effective in slowing the onset and slowing the pace of progression.
In this regard, life-oriented learning is attracting attention in the senior education field. 'Connect and color the numbers from 1 to 100 in order', 'Find the sum by adding the price of the item in the picture', 'Memorize the last digits of the phone number 1598 and draw the connecting line in order' The same task is representative. Although it looks like a simple quiz, it stimulates cognitive functions such as concentration, memory, and judgment, and has a positive effect on daily self-reliance and emotional stability.
Daegyo provides senior cognitive function enhancement learning in the form of a 1:1 home visit through 'Bridge Brain Training'. It helps social adaptation by learning content closely related to life by field, and supports emotional stability through art, recollection, and parish activities. Professional instructors who are qualified as instructors visit their homes to guide and talk to them, and are highly popular in that they can take care of cognitive stimulation and emotional stability at the same time
Before learning, personalized learning is designed after diagnosing cognitive health conditions with an early dementia screening test 'SPICK'. In addition to paper-based tasks, it also provides multi-sensory, three-dimensional, and play-type learning using various teaching aids such as blocks, puzzles, Jenga, and hand curling.
It is a program jointly developed by Daegyo's subsidiary, Senior Total Care Solution Company 'Daegyo Neuf' with researchers at Seoul National University Hospital in Bundang, and has increased reliability through supervision by the Korea Occupational Therapy Association. It is also widely used in welfare centers, lifelong learning centers, dementia relief centers, and day care centers nationwide.
An empirical study conducted by the Gwangmyeong Public Health Center and Dongseo University confirmed the effects of subjective memory loss in suspected dementia groups, cognitive function improvement in mild dementia groups, depression and communication improvement in moderate dementia groups. The results of the study were listed as papers of the Korean Society of Integrated Medicine last year. In addition, a study conducted by the Daegyo-Kaist Cognitive Function Improvement Research Center also confirmed the effect of increasing the cognitive activity of seniors when learning 'bridge Brain Training'. Based on this, Daegyo continues to study the effectiveness of KAIST and 'bridge Brain Training' learning in terms of cognitive training value and social interaction value.
An official from Daekyo said, `Senior cognitive reinforcement learning is an important process for preparing a healthy old age and self-directed life beyond preventing dementia.'"We will continue to support the healthy daily life of seniors with customized content for each cognitive level and expand the environment in which they can participate in learning independently." he said.
