Summary

The global population is aging rapidly, with the number of elderly people with dementia projected to rise sharply, posing significant challenges to quality of life and societal burden.Frequent language switching, such as in interpreting, enhances cognitive abilities by improving attention, flexibility, and memory.Dialect-switching training, similar to interpreting, is a non-invasive method that shows potential for promoting cognitive health in the elderly but remains under-researched.This study aims to investigate the cognitive-enhancing effects of a dialect-switching training program on older adults with vascular risk factors through a six-month intervention.

Conditions

  • Vascular Cognitive Impairment No Dementia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dialect Interpreting Training

The intervention group will receive a combination of offline and online language-switching training. The offline intervention will last for 2 months, with three training sessions per week, each lasting 1 hour. The training content will simulate the interpreting process, requiring participants to switch and convert rapidly and accurately between two dialects, covering multiple aspects including listening comprehension, oral expression, and information processing. The online intervention will last for 4 months, during which participants will regularly complete exercises through a language training app or website and upload their assignments.
