Yaakov Stern

Yaakov Stern is a renowned neuropsychologist known for his research on how aging affects memory and cognitive functions. He has contributed to understanding the distinction between normal cognitive aging and dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. Stern developed models to evaluate cognitive performance, emphasizing that healthy aging involves subtle changes rather than significant decline. His work helps clinicians better assess and manage cognitive health in older adults, supporting early detection and intervention for cognitive impairments.
