“…Nonetheless, as in other studies, we observed a tendency to an improvement in cognition (Z=1.857) after reminiscence therapy (Akanuma et al, 2011;Chung, 2009;Huang et al, 2009;Ito et al, 2007;Su, Wu & Lin., 2012). Mean value of MoCA has increased after the reminiscence therapy, which is congruent with the results found previously (Cotelli et al, 2012;Haight et al, 2003;Haight, Gibson & Michel, 2006;Nawate et al, 2008;Tadaka & Kanagawa, 2007;Wang, 2007;Woods et al, 2005). Studies using the same depression scale (Ashida, 2000;Wang, 2007) and several authors in reminiscence field (e.g.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to analyze the impact of a reminiscence program, particularly in the dimensions of cognition, autobiographical memory, mood and behavior in older persons with dementia, institutionalized. Material and Methods: This study was a one-group pre-test and post-test design investigation with no control group. The design planned was a cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive investigation. Six subjects participated in five weekly individual reminiscence sessions. Changes in the outcome measures were examined through Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia, Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale Non-Cog and Autobiographical Memory Test. Results: After the intervention, participants exhibited improvements in the entire outcome measures, although the differences were not statistically significant, except for the time of latency on AMT (Z=-1.997; ρ=0.046). Conclusions: Reminiscence therapy can be helpful to maintain or improve mood, cognitive function, altered behavior and self-esteem, however further investigations are needed to redefine the results, and using more standardized research. This study supported the idea that that reminiscence therapy, directed to positive and specific life events, may improve autobiographical memory, and indirectly some symptoms associated with cognitive impairment.

“…Relativamente aos resultados da TR na função cognitiva, constata-se um efeito com significância (Melendez et al, 2015;Nawate et al, 2007), o que corrobora os resultados de outras revisões anteriores (Huang et al, 2015;Woods et al, 2005, Woods et al, 2018. Em ambos os estudos (Melendez, et al, 2015;Nawate et al, 2007), a melhoria da função cognitiva persistiu após o terminus da intervenção, tendo o efeito sido avaliado ao fim de 2 meses e 4 semanas, respetivamente. Os autores dos estudos mencionados avaliaram ainda os efeitos da TR em avaliações de seguimento, o que permitiu verificar que os efeitos da intervenção perduraram no tempo.…”

“…In addition to conversation, the practice of reminiscence uses everyday objects, photographs, and other artifacts to elicit reminiscences (Arigho, 2011;Gibson, 2006), but the lack of an adequate basis for the use of such stimuli to trigger reminiscences has become problematic (Hanaoka and Okamura, 2004). Attempts to deal with this problem are reflected in investigative work on the effectiveness of performing reminiscence with a focus on particular stimuli, such as cooking (Nawate et al, 2008), images (Yasuda et al, 2009), and music (Basaglia-Pappas et al, 2013), but research in this area is still sparse. No evidence has been reported for the use of these kinds of triggers for reminiscence.…”

Introduction: Visual and auditory cues have been highlighted as methods to trigger reminiscences; however, the basis of this practice remains unclear. Here we conducted a preliminary cross-sectional study to identify reminiscence cues and their scientific basis by investigating the relationship between reminiscences in elderly people and their reminiscence cues. Method: The participants were 126 older adults aged 65 years or over. They were asked about the experiences of reminiscences in response to stimuli such as photographs, music, or smells. Data on the frequency and quality of reminiscences were collected. Geriatric depression scale and simple personality test for the elderly were assessed. Results: A multiple regression analysis revealed that reminiscences tended to be more frequent in older and less sociable participants. Highly sociable participants with reminiscences in response to olfactory stimuli tended to have positive reminiscences, while participants with less sociability and past unresolved issues tended to have negative reminiscences. Conclusion: To understand the process of reminiscence in an older person, it is important to consider the person's age, personality characteristics, and past unresolved issues. In addition, olfactory stimuli may also evoke pleasant reminiscences.
