Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This research focuses on cognitve stimulation activities. More precisly, our study compares two aproaches using the reading groups. The first type (" usual " reading group) is based on the principle of stimulating those cognitive functions which dicreases with the evolution of dementia. The second (Montessori reading group) approach relies on the idea to use preserved capacities in order to compensate the cognitive impariments.
The aim of our study is to compare the impact of these two non-pharmalogical interventions on non-verbal communication. The collected datas will help analyzing and understanding the internal and behavioral states of people living with dementia. Our study will also extend relfexions about cognitive stimulation groups in care institutions.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Usual reading group
The leader of the activity reads aloud a text to four participants seated around the table. The readen text is a normal, currently used in a everyday life support such as a journal article. Consequently it is not previously adaptated to people with cognitive impairements. After the reading phase, the leader asks the participants the questions about the content.

Montessori reading roundtable group
The group counts four participants and one activity leader. Each person have the same Montessori reading roundtable book.
Montessori reading roundtable
Such book is written in a way to adaptate to people with cognitif and sensory impairments. Indeed, text is written in large characters and structured to not involve episodic memory. Each person read one page aloud in his turn. After the reading phase, the participants discuss the questions about their opinions and distant memories.
