Summary

This study will adopt a newly developed computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program targeting the encoding stage of memory. The aims of the study are:

1. To test the feasibility of conducting a newly developed computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program for healthy older adults, people with MCI and mild dementia.
2. To test the effectiveness of the newly developed program in improving cognitive function and enabling maintenance of occupational performance in healthy older adults, people with MCI or mild dementia.

Using an iPad application, study participants will learn a memory encoding strategy to support completion of their daily activities. By implementing memory encoding strategies during the mild stages of cognitive decline, the project aims to prolong independence in functional performance. It is anticipated that adoption of the same memory strategies will enable maintain performance as they may experience ongoing cognitive decline.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Perceptual-based memory encoding

It will run for 12 weeks with a 1-hour training session each week, supervised by a rehabilitation professional. In addition, two 30-minute home-based training sessions will be completed by participants. In the home training session, participants will practice specific daily tasks that are covered in the previous professional-led session through the use of the computer-based intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Semantic-based memory encoding

It will run for 12 weeks with a 1-hour training session each week, supervised by a rehabilitation professional. In addition, two 30-minute home-based training sessions will be completed by participants. In the home training session, participants will practice specific daily tasks that are covered in the previous professional-led session through the use of the computer-based intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive stimulation

The frequency, duration and the number of sessions will be consistent with the experimental interventions.
