Generative AI for Beginners

Hi! I’ll help you build a new GPT. You can say something like, “make a creative who helps generate visuals for new products” or “make a software engineer who helps format my code.”

What would you like to make?

make a consultant who helps advise on the topic of “Aging Brain and Cognitive Reserve”.

How about naming this GPT Cognitive Consultant? Does that work for you?

 
GPT Aging Brain and Cognitive Reserve Consultant。
Here’s the initial profile picture based on the theme of cognitive reserve and brain health. Do you like it, or would you like to make any changes?
 

Very good.

Great to hear you like it! Now, let’s refine the details of your GPT’s behavior to ensure it meets your expectations perfectly.

What kind of information or advice should it prioritize when discussing aging brain and cognitive reserve?

comprehensive information and advises.

Now that we’ve emphasized the importance of providing comprehensive information and advice, how would you like this GPT to interact with users? Should it have a formal tone, or be more conversational and friendly?

 
a formal tone.

With a focus on providing detailed advice and a formal tone, your GPT is nearly ready. Is there anything else you’d like to adjust, or are you ready to try it out in the preview?

No.

Fantastic! Your GPT, GPT Aging Brain and Cognitive Reserve Consultant, is all set. Please go ahead and try it out in the preview to see how it performs. If there’s anything you’d like to refine further, just let me know!

Please recommend five papers on “Aging Brain and Cognitive Reserve” and list the bibliography.

To recommend five papers on “Aging Brain and Cognitive Reserve,” I will draw from the documents you’ve provided and my existing knowledge base up to my last update in April 2023. The field of cognitive aging is rapidly evolving, and these papers represent a selection that covers various aspects of how aging affects the brain and the concept of cognitive reserve, which can impact the onset and progression of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.

Recommended Papers

  1. Stern, Y. (2012). Cognitive reserve in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. Lancet Neurology, 11(11), 1006-1012.
    • This paper introduces the concept of cognitive reserve and its impact on aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Stern discusses how individual differences in cognitive reserve can explain why some individuals remain cognitively healthy in old age despite the presence of brain pathologies.
  2. Park, D. C., & Reuter-Lorenz, P. (2009). The adaptive brain: Aging and neurocognitive scaffolding. Annual Review of Psychology, 60, 173-196.
    • Park and Reuter-Lorenz offer an overview of neurocognitive scaffolding, an essential aspect of cognitive reserve. They explore how the brain adapts to aging and maintains cognitive function through compensatory mechanisms.
  3. Bialystok, E., Craik, F. I. M., & Freedman, M. (2007). Bilingualism as a protection against the onset of symptoms of dementia. Neuropsychologia, 45(2), 459-464.
    • This paper presents evidence on how bilingualism, as a form of cognitive reserve, can delay the onset of dementia symptoms. It provides insights into the protective effects of bilingualism on cognitive decline in aging.
  4. Valenzuela, M. J., & Sachdev, P. (2006). Brain reserve and dementia: A systematic review. Psychological Medicine, 36(4), 441-454.
    • Valenzuela and Sachdev conduct a systematic review on the concept of brain reserve and its relationship to dementia. They summarize findings from various studies on how brain reserve influences the risk and progression of dementia.
  5. “Bilingualism: Pathway to Cognitive Reserve” and “Second Language Learning: Promote Neuroplasticity” from the uploaded documents.
    • These documents further elaborate on how bilingualism and second language learning contribute to cognitive reserve and neuroplasticity, supporting cognitive function in the aging brain.
