Summary

A computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program based on daily tasks utilising the semantic encoding strategies called Enhancing Memory in Daily Life (E-MinD Life) has been developed for Chinese people. The aim of the E-MinD Life is to delay functional deterioration associated with possible cognitive changes in healthy older adults, older adults with memory complaints, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia. This project will pilot-test the E-MinD Life in Chinese healthy older adults, older adults with memory complaints, MCI and mild dementia.

Conditions

  • Healthy Older Adults
  • Memory Complaints
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

E-MinD Life Semantic

The E-MinD Life programme is designed to teach semantic memory strategies. The memory strategies are applied to 12 common daily activities required for community living, e.g. meal preparation, laundry activities, and built into the E-MinD Life programme on a computer-based platform. The intervention runs over 9 weeks with one 45-minute individual face-to-face or online healthcare-professional-led session and two 30-minute, family-assisted home sessions per week. During the home sessions, participants will complete the same activities as those learnt during the healthcare-professional-led sessions. Family members or carers will be invited to join the healthcare-professional-led sessions as observers and support the participants in the home sessions if needed.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive stimulation

Participants will receive stimulation for visual attention and memory through activities such as playing a game that requires them to find missing pieces, and auditory attention and memory through activities such as remembering a song. The intervention will adopt a similar structure as the E-MinD Life Semantic group, with one 45-minute individual face-to-face or online healthcare-professional-led session and two 30-minute, family-assisted home sessions per week for 9 weeks.
