Abstract

Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) involve a progressive deterioration in cognitive function, including attention. Attention Restoration Theory (ART) argues that visualization of certain natural landscapes improves attention. The aim of this article is to ascertain whether people with AD and MCI could benefit from exposure to restorative landscapes in a selective attention test. A randomized controlled trial was conducted. 32 participants (72% women) diagnosed with AD (52%) or MCI performed a selective attention test before and after exposure. The experimental group was exposed to restorative landscapes, while the control group was exposed to alternative material. The experimental group was faster (intergroup comparison) and more precise (intragroup comparison). Restorative landscapes have been proven to be useful for selective attention in people with AD and MCI, providing an additional resource in cognitive interventions.

AD和MCI患者的自然景观可视化和选择性注意/ AD和DCL患者的自然景观可视化和选择性注意

阿尔茨海默病(AD)和轻度认知障碍(MCI)涉及认知功能的进行性恶化，包括注意力。注意力恢复理论(ART)认为，某些自然景观的可视化可以提高注意力。本文的目的是确定AD和MCI患者是否可以从选择性注意力测试中暴露于恢复性景观中受益。进行随机对照试验。32名被诊断为AD(52%)或MCI的参与者(72%女性)在暴露前后进行了选择性注意力测试。实验组暴露在恢复性景观中，对照组暴露在替代材料中。实验组更快(组间比较)，更精确(组内比较)。恢复性景观已被证明对AD和MCI患者的选择性注意力有用，为认知干预提供了额外的资源。
