Involving 12 sessions of computer-based cognitive training in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, concluded that the intense mental activity based on cognitive training yielded benefits in individuals with MCI, since a pattern of improvement was observed in learning and verbal memory performance. The increased use of verbal learning strategies associated with greater activation in frontoparietal regions suggests the efficacy of the effects of applying strategies on cognitive mechanisms in both impaired and healthy individuals. Initially, performance of the MCI patients was lower than that of healthy controls for retrieval of spontaneously coded information.
The results showed differences in the recruitment of pre-frontal regions in response to the use of coding strategies in specific word coding models between older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and healthy controls. In this scenario, cognitive rehabilitation programs for stimulating cognitive functions have become commonplace, proving effective in reducing cognitive deficits.Īssessed the neural correlates of the efficacy of memory training, using functional magnetic resonance (fMR).
Increasing longevity, a common phenomenon in many societies, brings to the fore issues pertaining to health, quality of life and well-being in the elderly population.
