Psychological therapies in order to provide cognitive enhancement have gained some momentum the last decades. The goal of this case study was to evaluate the effects of a cognitive enhancement training program on daily living activities, cognition, and depression in a demented elderly participant. A 6-month training program was proposed for the participant, whose overall evaluation results suggest significant deficits impairment but whose response rate to the proposed tasks of the treatment was interestingly high. However, additional research is needed to overall evaluate the efficacy of the proposed method to elderly adults.
在过去几十年里，旨在提供认知增强的心理疗法已获得了一定的发展势头。本案例研究的目的是评估一项认知增强训练计划对一名患有痴呆症的老年参与者的日常生活活动、认知能力和抑郁状况的影响。为该参与者制定了一个为期6个月的训练计划，其总体评估结果显示存在显著的功能缺陷，但有趣的是，其对治疗所提出任务的反应率很高。然而，需要进行更多的研究来全面评估所提出的方法对老年人的疗效。
