Dr. Albert, a member of the MacArthur Foundation Study team that published Successful Aging, will discuss the influences of education, physical function, and self-efficacy on memory. Dr. Lerner of the Alzheimer Center at the University Hospitals of Cleveland will present data collected at the Center on the relationship of physical activity, intellectual stimulation, recreational pursuits, and occupational ventures on both healthy found individuals and Alzheimer's patients. CAAD awards will be distributed prior to opening remarks. Dr. Albert will receive the Herbert deVries Research Award.
