environmental enrichment and mental stimulation
Environmental enrichment refers to the process of enhancing an individual's physical surroundings or habitat to promote their overall well-being and satisfaction. It involves providing opportunities for increased sensory and cognitive stimulation, social interaction, physical exercise, and mental engagement. Mental stimulation, on the other hand, refers specifically to activities and experiences that challenge and engage the mind, such as puzzles, problem-solving tasks, learning new skills, or engaging in intellectually stimulating conversations or hobbies. Both environmental enrichment and mental stimulation play crucial roles in enhancing cognitive abilities, reducing stress, and improving mental health.
