Facilitating Optimal Routines in Aging

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mild Cognitive Impairment

In brief

Loss of cognitive abilities leading to Alzheimer's disease is progressive and destructive, leaving older adults disabled and unable to recall their past. The number of older adults with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple by the year 2050, yet little research examines amyloid beta deposition, executive function, and progression of disability. This study will test the influence of a novel and promising non-pharmacological intervention, Strategy Training, on the progression of disability in a sample of 150 older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment who have the option to complete a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging with Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB).
