Cognitive Training Sessions Reduced Memory Decline Over Five Years For People With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who completed a series of cognitive training sessions over eight weeks saw reduced memory decline up to five years later. Those who completed the sessions experienced a smaller decline in delayed memory and maintained their scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).;
For this research, the cognitive training used the validated MEMO+ program (Méthode d’Entrainement pour une Mémoire Optimale, Training Method for Optimal Memory). The sessions focus on teaching attention control and memory strategies, such as visual imagery, face-name association, and semantic organization. Each participant completed two hours . . .
