Abstract

Context: A methodical review and meta-analysis of cognitive intervention studies were conducted to clarify the effect of such interventions on memory. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of cognitive training on the improvement of cognitive function in older adults. Data Sources: The programs for improving cognitive performance, along with characteristics, among older adults were assessed by considering a literature review of previous studies. Study Selection: A total of 174 articles published between 1990 to 2017 in the area under study were selected. Each article was reviewed by two independent reviewers. Data Extraction: In this study, 15 studies and 910 subjects were selected for data analysis, and the meta-analysis was performed according to the Hedge method. Results: Based on the results, a positive effect size of 0.30 (SE = 0.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.165 - 0.436) was observed regarding the subjects’ cognitive function stemming from the interventions on individual and group cognitive-related therapies. The results were consistent, indicating that variances in effect size might be related to sampling error (Q = 88.592, df = 14, P = 0.000). Conclusions: The results confirm previous meta-analyses and methodical reviews showing that memory training plays a positive role in enhancing cognitive function.

认知训练对改善老年人认知功能的影响:一项系统回顾和荟萃分析研究

背景：对认知干预研究进行了系统的回顾和荟萃分析，以阐明此类干预对记忆的影响。目的：本研究旨在探讨认知训练对老年人认知功能改善的影响。数据来源：通过对先前研究的文献综述，对提高老年人认知表现及其特征的计划进行了评估。研究选择：选择了1990年至2017年间在研究领域发表的174篇文章。每一篇文章都由两名独立评审员进行评审。数据提取：在本研究中，选择15项研究和910名受试者进行数据分析，并根据Hedge方法进行荟萃分析。结果：根据结果，对个体和群体认知相关疗法的干预对受试者的认知功能产生了0.30的积极影响（SE=0.07，95%置信区间[CI]=0.165-0.436）。结果一致，表明效应大小的差异可能与抽样误差有关（Q=88.592，df=14，P=0.000）。结论：该结果证实了先前的荟萃分析和系统综述，表明记忆训练在增强认知功能方面发挥着积极作用。
