Study finds singing can trigger memories for those with dementia

The Daily’s Nathaniel Keesing spoke with clinical neuropsychologist Aimee Baird from Macquarie University to discuss the nature of dementia and whether or not singing can in fact improve the condition as well as other neurological conditions.
