A Nonrandomized Evaluation of a Multidimensional Behavioral Intervention for Those at Risk for Alzheimer's Dementia
This intervention is designed to promote enhanced use of compensation strategies including
calendar and task list use, and organization systems, as well as increased engagement with
brain health activities including physical exercise, cognitive activities, and stress
reduction.
calendar and task list use, and organization systems, as well as increased engagement with
brain health activities including physical exercise, cognitive activities, and stress
reduction.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of a 10-week
multi-dimensional intervention for older adults with subjective cognitive concerns (SCC). The
goal of this intervention is to enhance compensation skills related to everyday executive and
everyday memory functions through training in the systematic use of a calendar system, goal
setting and task list system, and organizational strategies within the context of the
individual's daily life. This multidimensional intervention program also targets engagement
in healthy lifestyle activities (physical exercise, intellectual stimulation, positive
emotional functioning) to further promote brain health and functional resilience.
Importantly, both treatment components work synergistically as the use of compensation
strategies assists in building healthy activities into daily routines (e.g., scheduling
exercise into one's calendar and putting it on a task list).
