Student performing the same test as these elderly, didn't have a significant improvement in enhanced memory, but do have an better attentional skill. But working recognition was influenced by the glucose treatments.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
