Comparing Traditional and Technology-Based Methods for Executive Function and Attention Training in Moderate Alzheimer's Dementia.
Background: Background: This study investigates the effects of cognitive interventions on executive functions and attention in patients with moderate Alzheimer's, comparing traditional and technology-based methods with a control group.
Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 112 participants, divided into three groups: traditional intervention, technology-based intervention, and control group. Sixteen sessions were carried out, assessed using standardized tests and applying hierarchical linear mixed models to adjust for confounding factors and random effects.
Results: The interventions proved effective in improving executive functions. The model for backward digits and categorical fluency was optimized with MMSE scores, highlighting the benefits of good cognitive performance and the negative impacts of age on categorical fluency. The similarity-abstraction variable demonstrated the beneficial effects of education and cognitive performance.
Conclusions: Cognitive training is a valuable tool for improving executive functions and attention in moderate Alzheimer's, indicating significant practical benefits. Future research should focus on the mechanisms of skill transfer to optimize interventions and improve the quality of life for those affected.
