My overarching goal is to develop a mental exercise "prescription" that could be matched to a senior's physical exercise prescription.

For example, doctors recommend exercising for at least 20 minutes, 3 to 5 times each week, with exercises for strength, flexibility, and aerobic activity.

For memory, we might recommend exercising for at least 20 minutes, 3 to 5 times each week, with exercises for attention, recall, or new learning.
