I recently compiled a family history for a client, who
was intending to give copies to her mother and sisters. Her mother is 85 and suffering from
dementia. Having a family history to
read, which was laid out in a structured and chronological order, has
apparently helped her memory and improved her response to people now. The photos which my client provided and which
I included in the family history also helped prompt her mother's memories.
One case on its own does not constitute a scientific study,
of course, but it is interesting. I
wonder if the same effect has been seen before?
