Summary

Individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) have greater risk of developing dementia. Cognitive intervention is a topic of great interest in individuals with MCI and SCD for the purpose of preventing or delaying the occurrence of dementia. There are many different types of cognitive interventions, which aim to positively impact the cognitive functioning of an individual and have been classified as cognitive stimulation, cognitive training, and cognitive rehabilitation. However, most studies used neuropsychological cognitive measures for outcome evaluation. The impact of cognitive interventions on daily functional performance among individuals with MCI and SCD were rarely explored. In addition, cognitive training focusing on specific cognitive outcomes is suspected to have limited far transfer to everyday measures. Therefore, a multicomponent intervention which integrates several types of intervention is recommended to reach the maximum impact on daily function.

The purposes of this study are to examine the effects of a multicomponent cognitive intervention on cognitive and daily functional outcomes in individuals with MCI and SCD, and to compare the effects between the two groups. In addition, the investigators will also investigate whether the demographic (e.g., age and educational level, etc.) and clinical variables (e.g., duration of cognitive complains, level of depression and baseline cognitive function, etc.) may affect the outcomes of cognitive intervention.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

multicomponent cognitive intervention

The intervention takes place in groups of 6-10 participants and is leaded by one occupational therapist. It includes 16 sessions, 90 minutes each. The first part of each session starts with a 15-minute review of previous homework or relaxation. The second part, which lasts 35 minutes, involves structured training with activity-sheets, board games, role-playing and computerized games. The third part, which lasts 30 minutes, is the lifestyle interventions. The instructor explains the generalization of the previous activities toward daily life, and introduces healthy lifestyles. Through group discussions, the therapist guides participants to develop solutions and strategies for their memory or cognition-related problems and application to daily life. The last 10 minutes are used to suggest homework.
