Effects of Cognitive Stimulation in Older People With Mild Cognitive Impairment

University of Jaén85 enrolled

Overview

Mild cognitive impairment is becoming one of the most common cynical manifestations that affect older people. That is why there is a need to investigate non-pharmacological interventions that help to improve or maintain this problem.

Each week for 12 weeks, GE participants will attend three 60-minute sessions of cognitive exercises. Each session is divided into 10 minutes of memory practice, which includes short-term and long-term memory; 10 minutes of language skills, including vocabulary, comprehension, reading and writing exercises; 10 minutes of calculation, in which arithmetic, similar and different operations are carried out; 10 minutes of praxis and gnosis where drawing and recognition and auditory, tactile, spatial, visual attention were promoted; 10 minutes of orientation where knowledge of space, person and place is developed; and 10 minutes of executive functions in which exercises of organization, planning and problem solving are worked.
