Two studies assessed the effects of a training procedure (Goal Management Training, GMT), derived from Duncan's theory goal neglect, on disorganized behavior following TBI. In Study 1, patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) were randomly assigned to brief trials GMT or motor skills training. GMT, but not training, was associated significant gains everyday paper-and-pencil tasks designed mimic that are problematic for neglect. 2, applied in postencephalitic patient seeking improve her...
Potentially modifiable lifestyle factors may influence cognitive health in later life and offer potential to reduce the risk of decline dementia. The concept reserve has been proposed as a mechanism explain individual differences rates decline, but its role mediating pathway seldom explored using data from large epidemiological studies. We effect on cross-sectional association between function population-based cohort healthy older people.We analysed 2,315 cognitively participants aged 65 y...
There is evidence to suggest that social isolation associated with poor cognitive health, although findings are contradictory. One reason for inconsistency in reported may be a lack of consideration underlying mechanisms could influence this relationship. Cognitive reserve theoretical concept account the role and its association outcomes later life. Therefore, we aimed examine relationship between cognition life, consider Baseline two year follow-up data from Function Ageing Study–Wales...

Dementia of Alzheimer Type (DAT) is increasingly detected at an earlier stage the disorder, when interventions to assist with everyday memory difficulties might be most valuable. Some learning possible in DAT and a number factors have been identified which may facilitate performance, although applications problems limited. The concept errorless has not previously directly examined relation DAT, but provide useful additional strategy. In present study, 6 participants early (MMSE scores 21 –...
The onset of dementia places major demands on coping resources, and the development adaptive strategies is crucial in optimizing well-being minimizing excess disability. Understanding how people with early-stage naturally attempt to adjust cope an important starting point developing interventions that can enhance self-efficacy coping. This study aimed identify conceptualize used by Alzheimer's disease (AD). Twelve participants their partners were each interviewed separately two occasions,...
