Effectiveness of a Cognitive Training Program (UMAM Method) in Elderly People Without Dementia
25 gennaio 2020 aggiornato da: Madrid Salud
Cognitive Training in Elders Without Dementia Using UMAM Method. Genetic, Brain Volume and Cognitive Reserve Predictors: A Randomized Controlled Study
The study is oriented to analyze the effectiveness of a cognitive training method (UMAM) on cognitive functions, subjective memory and mood state in elderly people without dementia.
On the other hand, the study aims to examine whether variables such as cognitive reserve (e.g.
educational level), APOE genotype and intracranial volume are related to increased benefit after the intervention.
The researchers hope to find that greater cognitive reserve, not having the APOE allele ε4, and a greater volume of memory-related brain areas, are associated with better outcomes after the cognitive intervention.

Sperimentale: Experimental Group
The experimental group carried out a 30-session multi-factorial group memory training program (UMAM method), with a frequency of three weekly sessions of 90 minutes each. The training program consists of four modules: 1- Stimulation of cognitive processes; learning and practicing internal memory strategies and solving everyday forgetfulness; 2- Instruction in basic concepts about memory; 3- Intervention on daily living and forgetting experiences, using internal and external strategies to solve everyday memory failures; 4- Metacognition or metamemory: the subjects were to reflect about their cognitive failures by analyzing the causes and variables of those failures. In addition, the experimental group followed the standard activities in which all users attending the Center are involved (planned interviews, dialogue-conferences, general health recommendations, etc.). |
