Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Little is known about the effects of computerized cognitive training programs on mild dementia patients' health. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a community-based computerized cognitive training program.However, most of these studies were not randomized controlled trial and the samples of these studies were mostly healthy older persons, patients with brain injuries, or with moderate and severe dementia. A lack of studies for effects of these programs on patients with mild dementia using randomized controlled trials was found. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a community-based computerized cognitive training program.

Control group

Patients receive only usual hospital care

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental group

Patients receive only usual hospital care and community-based computerized cognitive training program

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

A community-based computerized cognitive training program

Intervention Type OTHER

The computer training games included: 1) a phonological loop to train the participants to choose correct song from a list of different songs which can be categorized as people, nature, and musical instrument. The difficulty level progressed from choosing one from two to choosing one from three songs; 2) a visual-spatial sketchpad to train the participants to remember and find the same graphs including vegetable, fruits, daily necessity, and numbers. The difficulty level progressed from finding one pair to three pairs of similar graphs; 3) a central executive system to train the participants to execute dual tasks including conducting dual memory, calculating while listening to music, making phone calls, and matching medication at correct time.
