Summary

Memory interventions are training programs that provide a variety of cognitive and psychological strategies meant to improve memory. These interventions have been shown to yield significant benefits to normal aged persons and small-size studies have shown that they are suitable and beneficial for persons with mild cognitive impairment. The goal of this proposal is to assess with a well-controlled design the efficiency and specificity of cognitive training in persons with mild cognitive impairment.

The hypothesis is that cognitive training can improve the cognition of persons with mild cognitive impairment and that this improvement can be enduring.

Different strategies will be included to improve episodic memory. Training on imagery will be provided prior to episodic training.Particular attention will be paid to memory self-efficacy and the negative perception that elderly individuals entertain about memory tasks. The issue of generalization is of major importance in cognitive therapy.

Based on a cognitive-behavioural approach, the psychosocial intervention will aim at improving general psychological well-being or preventing psychological distress in persons with MCI.
