Mnemonic Strategy Versus Spaced Retrieval Training in Those With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mild Cognitive Impairment

In brief

This study compared two active cognitive interventions to evaluate whether one improved memory more than the other in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Participants were randomized to either memory strategy training or spaced retrieval training and completed memory tests before and after 3 training sessions. Participants returned 1 month after treatment to see how well they remembered the learned information. Brain scans (functional MRI) were collected before and after the interventions to see if training changed the way brain regions were functioning.
