摘要
由于老龄人口的增加,认知训练集中于认知能力下降的非药物预防途径。虽然有知识积累,但他们很难体现临床使用的程序。我们开发了一个任务集命名为“Atama-no-dojo”旨在激活多种认知功能和增强动机激励。我们的研究目的是通过一个6个月的干预措施确认我们项目的效果。该干预计划在日间服务中心进行,为期6个月,每月4次,每次45分钟/天,共有25次。参与者在屏幕上完成所有的任务,并填写答题纸。神经心理学测试、SF36和GDS对干预前后进行评估。参与者在最后的训练计划是填写一份关于印象的问卷。十四名妇女(82.2±2.9岁)在GDS和SF36的一些项目分析结果发现显著改善记忆力和注意力,抑制力。所有参与者认为项目有趣又想继续。一些参与者的正面印象来自于项目对认知程度的改善。通过为期6个月的“Atama-no-dojo”干预提高认知功能主要与前额皮质相关,动机激励似乎支持任务内容的效果。我们认识到任务难度设置的重要性,动机激励来减少困难任务的挫败感并提高通过激活脑功能改善的效果。

摘要: Since the increasing population of aging, cognitive training is focused as one of the non-pharmacological preventive approach of cognitive decline. Although the accumulation of the knowledge, they hardly reflect to the programs for clinical use. We developed a task set named “Atama-no-dojo,” designed to activate multiple cognitive functions and enhance motivational incentives. The objective of our study is to confirm the effect of our program through a 6 months group intervention program. The intervention program conducted in a day service center for 6 months in the duration of 45 minutes per day, 4 days per month for a total of 25 sessions. Participants worked to the tasks on the screen all together with filling in the answering sheet. Neuropsychological tests, SF36 and GDS were assessed at pre-/post-intervention periods. Participants filled in a questionnaire about impression to the program at the last training session. Fourteen women (82.2±2.9 years old) were analyzed and significant changes were found in the improvement of memory, attention, inhibition, GDS and some items of SF36. All participants recognized the program as fun and wanted to continue. Some of the participants’ positive impressions to the program correlated to cognitive improvement. The improved cognitive functions by 6 months intervention of “Atama-no-dojo” were mainly related to prefrontal cortex and the motivational incentives seemed supported the effect of task contents. We recognized the importance of task difficulty setting and motivational incentives to reduce frustration from working on difficult tasks and enhance the effects of improvement from activating brain function.
