IMPACT OF BRAIN-BASED LEARNING TOOLS IN MAINTAINING COGNITIVE RESERVE OF DEMENTIA PATIENTS- EXPERIMENTING WITH THE APPLICATION OF 'NASHEED'

This paper investigates the role of brain-based learning tools, like the Muslim spiritual songs 'Nasheed' in maintaining the cognitive reserve (CR) of dementia patients and its role in mitigating the speed of progression of the spillovers of the disease impairment symptoms. The author reviews the literature and presents close carer notes for the changes in the cognition capacity in the dementia case discussed, in continuation of previously published papers. The implication here is to focus on the role of the 'nasheed' like tools, as brain-based learning tools, in maintaining the cognitive reserve of dementia patients and those suffering memory loss due to aging.
