摘要

背景:语言学习被认为是促进健康老龄化的一种非药物干预手段。这种干预还没有在有抑郁症病史的老年人中进行过研究,这些老年人认知功能障碍的患病率很高。这项小规模的研究首次调查了语言学习对患有(过去)抑郁症的老年人的潜在功效。方法:收集了19名(过去)患有抑郁症的参与者(M = 69.7岁,SD = 2.9; 79%女性,21%男性)和15名过去25年没有抑郁症的老年人(M = 70.1岁,SD = 3.8; 60%女性,40%男性)的心理社会健康、认知功能和语言结果的数据。数据是在完成三个月的语言课程之前、之后和四个月后收集的。结果:抑郁症患者的冷漠、社交孤独和认知失败显著降低,联想记忆和整体认知能力显著提高。对照组在联想记忆和字母数字排序方面有所改善。两组人在语言自信和英语词汇方面都有所提高,而患有抑郁症的那组人在听说能力方面也有所提高。结论:干预对认知和社会心理健康的益处有限,但(更长时间)基于群体的学习干预可以建立社会和动机储备,防止发病率。需要更大样本和非训练控制样本的研究来进一步支持这些发现。

Language Learning as a Non-Pharmacological Intervention in Older Adults with (Past) Depression.

Background: Language learning has been proposed as a non-pharmacological intervention to promote healthy aging. This intervention has not been studied in older adults with a history of depression, who experience high prevalence of cognitive dysfunction. This small-scale study was the first to investigate the potential efficacy of language learning in older adults with (past) depression. Methods: Data on psychosocial well-being, cognitive functioning, and language outcomes were collected in nineteen participants with (past) depression (M = 69.7 years old, SD = 2.9; 79% women, 21% men) and a control group of fifteen older adults without depression in the past 25 years (M = 70.1 years old, SD = 3.8; 60% women, 40% men). Data were collected before, immediately after, and four months after completing a three-month language course. Results: Participants with (past) depression showed significant decreases in apathy, social loneliness, and cognitive failures, and increases in associative memory and global cognition. The control group improved on associative memory and letter-number sequencing. Both groups improved in linguistic self-confidence and lexical access to English, while the group with (past) depression also improved on listening and speaking proficiency. Conclusions: The intervention had limited benefits for cognition and psychosocial well-being, but (longer) group-based learning interventions may build up social and motivational reserves protecting against morbidity. Research with larger samples and a no-training control sample is needed to further support these findings.

期刊介绍: Brain Sciences (ISSN 2076-3425) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes and short communications in the areas of cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural engineering, neuroimaging, neurolinguistics, neuropathy, systems neuroscience, and theoretical and computational neuroscience. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
