From the Name Game to the Brain Game

Remember that song back in the 1960s called the Name Game Song.  Some of the lyrics went like this:

Jack, Jack, bo-back,

Banana-fana fo-fack

Fee-fi-mo-mack

Jack!

It was a fun little song (written and recorded by Shirley Ellis) to help children identify certain letters, syllables and sounds.  I actually think our parents enjoyed singing it more than we did as kids.

But now that we’re all grown up, there’s something we can enjoy called the How Old is Your Brain Game.   That’s right.  This game is for those of us who sometimes feel like we’re losing our minds. We put something somewhere and then can’t remember where we put it. Are you approaching menopause?

A study reported by the International Neuropsychological Society in Boston, suggests that women approaching menopause might just get a bit unforgettable. That means they might have huge difficulties remembering things.

According to the study team, the problem was not so much flawed memory, as much as grievance of forgetfulness and the manner in which these women grasp new information.

I came across an interesting blog post by fellow Diva Eileen Williams who shared the How Old is Your Brain Game on her website.  Now, I’m sharing it here.
