via Scott Barry Kaufman Her findings, she says, suggest that drawing has enormous potential for cognitive rehabilitation. In her blind subjects, the improvement in spatial memory was highly transferable to other tasks, and the impact on working memory suggests far broader applications. If visual art training can have this effect, so quickly, in blind-from-birth individuals, I predict it will be stronger and more easily achievable in those who are sighted but have other cognitive problems, including the aging. Drawing makes demands on the brain that get it to organize resources to create and maintain stable memories.
