          Abstract

          El objetivo del este estudio ha sido analizar el efecto de un entrenamiento en memoria en el mantenimiento cognitivo de ancianos con y sin deterioro cognitivo. Método: En la investigación han participado 98 ancianos (59 grupo tratamiento y 39 grupo control) que han sido evaluados en tres momentos temporales (antes del entrenamiento, después del mismo y tras 9 meses) con diversas pruebas de funcionamiento cognitivo. Las personas del grupo tratamiento han participado en un programa de entrenamiento en memoria de 14 sesiones. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que los ancianos del grupo tratamiento mejoran su rendimiento cognitivo en las evaluaciones posteriores al entrenamiento mientras que las del grupo control sufren un declive de tal manera que, aunque no existen diferencias significativas de partida entre grupos, éstas sí que se producen una vez introducida la fase de entrenamiento. Conclusiones: los resultados muestran los efectos positivos de este tipo de intervenciones cuando se trabaja con población anciana.

          The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of memory training on cognitive maintenance in older adults with and without cognitive decline. Method: 98 older adults participated in the study (59 in the treatment group and 39 in the control group). Subjects were evaluated at three points in time using diverse cognitive functioning tests -before training, immediately after training, and nine months after training. Subjects in the treatment group participated in a memory-training programme during 14 sessions. Results: Older adults in the treatment group improved their cognitive performance in the post-training tests, while members of the control group presented a decline. Thus, while there were no initial significant inter-group differences, these differences became apparent after the training phase. Conclusions: The results show the positive effects of this type of training when working with the older adult population.

          Improving memory performance in the aged through mnemonic training: a meta-analytic study.

          The effectiveness of memory training for the elderly was examined through a meta-analysis of pre-to-posttest gains on episodic memory tasks in healthy subjects aged 60 or above. Pre-to-posttest gains were found to be significantly larger in training groups (0.73 SD, k = 49) than in both control (0.38 SD, k = 10) and placebo (0.37 SD, k = 8) groups. Treatment gains in training groups were negatively affected by age of participants and duration of training sessions and positively affected by group treatment, pretraining, and memory-related interventions. No differences in treatment gain were obtained as a function of type of mnemonic taught nor the kind of pretraining used.
