Brief Summary

Mild cognitive impairment is becoming one of the most common cynical manifestations that affect older people. That is why there is a need to investigate non-pharmacological interventions that help to improve or maintain this problem.

Detailed Description

Each week for 12 weeks, GE participants will attend three 60-minute sessions of cognitive exercises. Each session is divided into 10 minutes of memory practice, which includes short-term and long-term memory; 10 minutes of language skills, including vocabulary, comprehension, reading and writing exercises; 10 minutes of calculation, in which arithmetic, similar and different operations are carried out; 10 minutes of praxis and gnosis where drawing and recognition and auditory, tactile, spatial, visual attention were promoted; 10 minutes of orientation where knowledge of space, person and place is developed; and 10 minutes of executive functions in which exercises of organization, planning and problem solving are worked.
