Abstract
Research on lifestyle factors and cognition has largely focused on identifying determinants of cognitive decline or possible cognitive enhancement in older adults. Much less attention has been devoted to the effects of various lifestyle factors on cognition from childhood through middle age and whether these factors can be exploited to optimize cognitive functioning. The present chapter reviews the literature related to various lifestyle factors in this age range, including exercise, sleep, nutrition, tobacco use, social engagement, and cognitively stimulating activity. We discuss the relevance of examining the impact of these lifestyle factors on brain and cognitive functioning, review potential mechanisms through which they influence cognitive functioning, and delineate the importance of early life activity engagement on later brain and cognitive health. Applications of lifestyle factor research to neuropsychological practice are then considered, as are challenges and future directions for lifestyle factor research in children and adults.
