Summary

Alongside physiological cognitive ageing, nowadays there is an alarming increase in the incidence of dementia that requires communities to invest in its prevention. The engagement in cognitively stimulating activities and strong social networks have been identified among those protective factors promoting successful cognitive ageing. One aspect regarding cognitive stimulation concerns the relevance of the frequency of an external intervention. For these reasons, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 3-month multi-domain cognitive training program, administered once per week in a group of healthy elderly aged over 60 years old. Their results obtained on a series of neuropsychological tests, both pre- (t0) and post-training (t1), were compared with those of a passive control group who did not receive the cognitive training.
