“…The interventions involving computers had the third-highest rate of assessment completion, and smartphone interventions had the lowest rate. There were ten studies (4 percent of all published RCTs) that had a 100 percent follow-up assessment rate (Selmi et al, 1991;Beard and Amir, 2008;Millán-Calenti et al, 2015;Kanai et al, 2011;Eisdorfer et al, 2003;Dennis, 2003;Boettcher, Hasselrot, et al, 2014;Sandoval et al, 2016;Sethi, 2013). These tended to be the smaller studies, ranging from 36 to 225 participants with an average number of 86 participants.…”

“…The results showed improvements in global cognitive, episodic memory, visuospatial, and verbal fluency skills on post-intervention patients without significant memory deficits. The same program was also used in older adults to address cognitive function and depressive symptomatology ( Millán-Calenti et al, 2015 ), revealing improvement in overall cognitive functioning.…”

Background: Dementia is the one of the most common and prominent disease in the elderly person that results in the Cognitive interventions. In this study, we aim to conceptualize the cognitive intervention for older adults with and without cognitive dysfunction and to clarify the heterogeneity existing in this literature field by determining the main variables implicated.Methods: We conducted a study analysis using previous literature highlighting the significant data reporting empirical results from cognitive intervention for healthy older adults and other seniors with different types of dementia. Each paper was reviewed in terms of compensatory cognitive training, cognitive remediation, enrichment, cognitive activation, brain training, cognitive stimulation, cognitive training, and cognitive rehabilitation. The research analysis was performed following rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria with the purpose of collecting relevant answers to our research questions.Results: We included a total of 168 studies in our review. Our findings indicated heterogeneity regarding methods, concepts, and procedures. Additionally, the values were integrated using different information existing in this field.Conclusion: In conclusion, we highlighted that this is the first review that clarify the discrepancy of various existing definitions, methods, and procedures, as well as the overlapping information in the cognitive interventions.

“…An interactive, friendly and attractive interface increases the older adult’s motivation to carry out cognitive stimulation activities (Binder et al, 2016; Bozoki et al, 2013; Lee et al, 2013; Nagle, Riener, & Wolf, 2015), a distinctive feature in the development of computer-based programs. Likewise, the inclusion of rewards when certain objectives are reached motivates individuals and generates a higher level of commitment to the activity (Corbett et al, 2015; Millán-Calenti et al, 2015; Nagle et al, 2015; Rute-Pérez et al, 2014). It is also possible to incorporate a virtual assistant that serves as a guide and increases motivation by encouraging users to perform different tasks (Rute-Pérez et al, 2014).…”

Cognitive stimulation programs are widely used as a preventive tool for cognitive decline in older adults, as they can favour positive ageing by maintaining older persons' autonomy and preserving their cognitive functions. Because of this, and due to its potentially easy application on a large scale and at a low cost, the incorporation of technologies for the cognitive stimulation of older adults has become an area of growing interest. This review outlines the advantages and disadvantages of computer-based cognitive stimulation programs aimed at healthy older adults, focusing on aspects that influence their effectiveness and future direction. Twenty-five articles were considered, including original studies, literature reviews and meta-analyses, published between 2013 and 2017. It was concluded that there is a need to generate more randomized studies with active control groups to assess the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation through computer-based programs, as well as develop designs to establish strategies that increase older adults' adherence and ensure their motivation to carry out these activities.
