本研究旨在确定回忆疗法对居住在伊朗戈勒斯坦省老年日间护理中心的老年人样本的认知状态和记忆的影响。
本研究为半实验性研究。研究对象为45名前往戈勒斯坦省老年日间护理中心的老年人。每组10 - 12名老年人，共4组，参加了8次时长为1至1个半小时的回忆疗法课程。通过简易精神状态检查表和韦氏记忆量表对老年人参与前后的认知状态进行评估。
测试前阶段的平均（±标准差）认知状态评分为24（±2），测试后阶段增至25（±2）（p < 0.01）。测试前阶段的平均（±标准差）智商为87（±7），测试后阶段增至92（±10）（p < 0.01）。
此处针对所研究老年人开展的回忆疗法课程对受试者的认知和记忆产生了有益影响。
