Aging and the Mind: Cognitive Activities for the Elderly

Abstract

One of the deteriorating parts of an ageing person is their cognitive skills affecting their social life. Some of the manifestations are forgetting things like names and events. The paper identifies appropriate cognitive activities of the elderly who belong to classes C and D of society. A mixed research method is applied to this paper to get a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and situation of the elderly. As a result, suitable and cost-effective cognitive activities are identified for senior citizens from marginalized populations.
