Cognitive deficits are highly prevalent following a stroke, with memory, attention, and psychomotor speed being among the most affected functions. Prior research indicates that cognitive rehabilitation for stroke patients yields substantial improvements in cognitive performance and concurrently exerts a positive influence on reducing depressive symptoms. Objective: The goal of this study was to provide a description and assessment of the influence of cognitive rehabilitation on the attentional performance and depressive symptoms of individuals diagnosed with stroke. Methods: Participants underwent a neuropsychological assessment both prior to and following a 15-week remote cognitive rehabilitation intervention. This intervention involved the implementation of various cognitive tasks aimed at rehabilitating attentional skills. Results: The outcomes of the individualized descriptive assessment revealed a no table inclination towards enhanced attentional performance. The comparative results indicated that the cognitive rehabilitation intervention for stroke patients proved effective in facilitating a substantial reduction in depressive symptoms and enhancing participants’ alternating attention. While it is acknowledged that certain individuals may still exhibit deficiencies in various facets of attentional performance, cognitive rehabilitation contributed to the clinical amelioration of these individuals. Conclusion: Clinical improvement holds profound significance in the day-to-day existence of these individuals, bolstering their autonomy and fortifying their sense of self-efficacy, as attested by their personal perceptions and self-reports.

Introduction:Episodic memory is a cognitive process that allows the recall of experiences, learning, and the pursuit of future goals. During the aging process, episodic memory declines negatively, impacting social and psychological aspects in the elderly. Such intervention strategies as cognitive training are non-pharmacological ways of reducing these losses.ObjectiveWe systematically reviewed studies of the cognitive training of episodic memory in healthy elderly individuals and elderly individuals with clinical conditions.MethodWe systematically searched the PubMed, PsycNET, Web of Science, and SciELO databases using the descriptors “Episodic Memory” AND “Training” AND “Elderly” OR “Aging” OR “Dementia” in English and translated into Portuguese.ResultsOf the 572 articles that were identified by the search, 23 were included in the final analysis. The main variables that comprised the intervention protocols (i.e., characteristics of the sample, type of control group, mode of episodic memory training, and duration of training) were investigated, as well as the outcome variables, efficacy, and risk of bias. The main results indicated effectiveness with regard to different forms of the cognitive training of episodic memory.ConclusionEpisodic memory training among the elderly can mitigate the negative effects of cognitive decline in dementia and healthy subjects promoting impacts at social, psychological, and economic levels. Although it is a widely studied topic, further empirical studies on the utility of episodic memory training in healthy elderly individuals and elderly individuals with clinical conditions are still needed.
