Several recent reviews have suggested that cognitive rehabilitation may hold promise in the treatment of memory deficits experienced by patients with mild cognitive impairment. In contrast to the previous reviews that mainly focused on outcome, the current review examines key methodological challenges that are critical for designing and interpreting research studies and translating results into clinical practice. Using methodological details from 36 studies, we first examine diagnostic variability and how the use of cutoffs may bias samples toward more severely impaired patients. Second, the strengths and limitations of several common rehabilitative techniques are discussed. Half of the reviewed studies used a multi-technique approach that precludes the causal attribution between any specific technique and subsequent improvement. Third, there is a clear need to examine the dose-response relationship since this information was strikingly absent from most studies. Fourth, outcome measures varied widely and frequently depended on neuropsychological tests with little theoretical justification or ecological relevance. Fifth, we discuss how the variability in each of these other four areas complicates efforts to examine training generalization. Overall, future studies should place greater emphasis on ecologically relevant treatment approaches and outcome measures and we propose a hierarchical model that may aid in this pursuit.

“…Using multi-component cognitive training that included memory exercises, Kurz et al (2009) showed improved episodic memory measures in MCI individuals (California Verbal Learning Test and Rey Complex Figure Recall Test), as well as increases in daily living activities and mood. Furthermore, Wenisch et al (2007) showed that programs that included memory exercises resulted in an improvement of associative memory abilities in MCI and normal subjects (although a greater improvement was observed in MCI cases).…”

Non-pharmacological intervention for memory decline

Non-pharmacological intervention of memory difficulties in healthy older adults, as well as those with brain damage and neurodegenerative disorders, has gained much attention in recent years. The two main reasons that explain this growing interest in memory rehabilitation are the limited efficacy of current drug therapies and the plasticity of the human central nervous and the discovery that during aging, the connections in the brain are not fixed but retain the capacity to change with learning. Moreover, several studies have reported enhanced cognitive performance in patients with neurological disease, following non-invasive brain stimulation [i.e., repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation to specific cortical areas]. The present review provides an overview of memory rehabilitation in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and in patients with Alzheimer's disease with particular regard to cognitive rehabilitation interventions focused on memory and non-invasive brain stimulation. Reviewed data suggest that in patients with memory deficits, memory intervention therapy could lead to performance improvements in memory, nevertheless further studies need to be conducted in order to establish the real value of this approach.

“…The results showed that the cognitive ability of the two groups of people has significantly improved. The group of MCI patients has witnessed great improvements by the elderly people upon their ability of correlating memorization through cognitive intervention measures [4]. Belleville performed episodic memory training for MCI patients, including list recall, face-name memory strategies, and text memory.…”

Abstract. The aging process of the elder people is usually alongside with memory loss, lack of attention and other cognitive decline in performance. This study sets out to find the level of correlation between the elderly people's cognitive ability and the possible sources of decay which include: age, gender, education level, smoking or drinking habits, frequency of exercise, variability of heart rate, mental health and other factors. The cognitive intervention was simulated to measure the possible effect of intervention on the cognitive ability of the elderly. The effectiveness of these cognitive interventions was evaluated during this study. The results showed that the cognitive ability of the elderly was positively related with gender, education years, smoking, drinking and level of mental health for the length of two weeks during the study. Negative correlations were found between the cognitive ability and factors including: age, exercise frequency, and high heart rate variability. Certain improvement over the efficacy of the interventive treatment was found among elderly people with mild cognitive impairment.
