Effectiveness of Working Memory Treatment on Naming Ability in Elderly People with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Introduction
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment often struggle to find words quickly, which can lead to frustration. This study examines how working memory treatment can help improve naming abilities in these individuals.
Methods
This study was a randomized clinical trial involving 48 participants over 60 years old with mild cognitive impairment. They were divided into two groups: one received 12 sessions of working memory therapy, while the other did not. Various tests were used to measure cognitive and naming abilities.
Results
The results showed that the group receiving working memory treatment had significant improvements in:
- Naming ability: Improved scores in naming tests (p = 0.001).
- Verbal fluency: Increased scores (p = 0.005).
- Continuous speech analysis: Enhanced scores (p = 0.001).
Overall, the treatment positively impacted cognitive status and memory.
Conclusion
Working memory treatment effectively improves naming skills in elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment. Implementing this treatment is crucial for enhancing their communication abilities.
