Can You Teach an Old Dog New Tricks? 🐶📱🧠

Описание: They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks… but neuroscience says otherwise. Here’s the BrainWise truth 👇
🧠 The Brain CAN Change at Any Age
• Neuroplasticity (your brain’s ability to grow & adapt) doesn’t stop—it just slows with age.
• So yes, older adults can still learn new skills. It may take longer, but it’s possible.
📱 A Real-Life Example
• Teaching my grandfather in his 80s how to use a touchscreen phone wasn’t easy…
• But with patience, he learned! Today at 92, he can call, text, and navigate. Proof that growth never stops.
🗣️ The Power of Words
• We use old words for new things.
o We still say “dial” a number (but there’s no dial).
o We still say “hang up” (but we tap end call).
• These words carry old memories that shape how older generations experience new tech.
🌱 BrainWise Takeaway
• Learning later in life is slower, but never impossible.
• The real challenge is less about ability and more about patience, language, and mindset.
