“…Recent research, for example, has shown that Problem-Solving Therapy may benefit patients with comorbid major depression and ED. 59,60 It is possible, therefore, that integration of RO with CBT may produce enhanced outcomes, particularly for patients with subtle deficits in cognitive functioning, such as disorientation. Another recent pilot study suggested that training in attentional processes may enhance outcomes following CBT for late-life anxiety.…”

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.

“…However, this process is not an “all or none” phenomenon. Importantly, during the first stage of the disease process, some cognitive functions are preserved (i.e., procedural memory) and can be the target of cognitive interventions (Beck et al, 1988; Zanetti et al, 1998, 2001, 2002; Clare et al, 2001; De Vreese et al, 2001; Olazaran et al, 2004, 2010; Onder et al, 2005; Souchay et al, 2008). Moreover, several studies have demonstrated at least a modest benefit from specific interventions designed to improve functioning in select cognitive tasks.…”

Predictors of cognitive improvement after reality orientation in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract: a lower mini mental state examination and the absence of euphoric behaviour in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease may predict a good cognitive outcome of reality orientation therapy.
