The Memory Shoppe

A Division of Psychiatry of Texas Tech Physicians

The Memory Shoppe offers products and services focused on slowing cognitive loss and improving quality of life. It provides an alternative or complement to drug therapy for persons with cognitive loss by using a personalized training program that consists of a set of mentally stimulating techniques that have been shown to improve memory and other cognitive abilities.

Integrated Geriatrics Practice

Texas Tech Physicians has announced the creation of a multidisciplinary assessment clinic for complicated patients. Elderly patients with complex medical conditions are screened on Friday mornings by the departments of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Neuropsychiatry.

How do I get started?

The first step is to schedule an initial assessment which consists of a short interview with the Memorcize trainer and a standardized memory and intellectual screening to identify specific areas of concern.

How often do I need to come to see the results?

Like physical exercise, the more you do it the faster you will see the results. However, we recommend a minimum of 5 to 8 sessions over a period of 2 months with a Memorcize trainer in addition to practice at home on your own or with a loved one.

Is Memorcize effective?

Yes, the particular techniques and methods used in our training sessions have been validated through years of research in the scientific community.

Memorcize

Memorcize is a new program that consists of a set of mental exercises that have been shown by research to improve memory and other cognitive abilities. At the Memory Shoppe, a Memorcize trainer works one-on-one with you to identify specific areas of memory and thinking that you would like to improve. The Memorcize trainer then teaches you ways to strengthen weak areas, much like a personal trainer in a fitness center helps strengthen your body.

Memorcize training can:

Improve day-to-day mental functioning
Maximize independence
Enhance coping skills
Restore self-esteem
