AIM
Our goal was to test the hypothesis that positive tactile experiences can lead to an improvement in cognitive, emotional skills and perceived quality of life in a group of healthy community-dwelling older adults.
METHODS
During a 10-week period, older adults completed a series of activities that required manipulating either a piece of velvet, a piece of canvas or velcro.
RESULTS
Only older adults who worked with velvet showed an increase in cognitive and emotional skills, and the perceived quality of life.
CONCLUSION
Our study is one of the first to show that positive tactile experiences might have a beneficial effect on the psychological well-being of healthy community-dwelling older adults across different domains.
目的

在 10 周的时间内，老年人完成了一系列需要操作天鹅绒、帆布或魔术贴的活动。
结果
只有使用天鹅绒的老年人在认知和情感技能以及感知生活质量方面有所提高。
结论
