“…Table 1 represents the significant differences between each group in terms of increases in the correct responses, the number of Sets Completed, and the reduction in the perseveration error in the experimental group. Thus, it can be stated that cognitive rehabilitation is potentially effective in recovering the shifting attention function in MCI individuals, which is inconsistent with many research findings (Cipriani et al, 2006;Rozzini et al, 2007;Talassi et al, 2007;Herrera et al, 2012;Shomali Oskoei et al, 2013;Amini et al, 2010). …”

“…Studies have shown that an eight-week cognitive rehabilitation program focusing on practical memory has a potentially positive impact on cognitive-speed (Talassi, 2007). Also a meta-analysis study led by (Li H., Li J., Li N., Li B., Wang, & Zhou, 2011) showed that over 17 cognitive interventions for people with MCI had a significant impact on the overall cognitive function.…”

The aim of the study was the effect of Cognitive Rehabilitation on the Set-Shifting Attention Ability of Adult Individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment. The present study consisted of a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test stages. The statistical population consisted of subjects of more than 55 years of age, referred to a neurology clinic in Tehran/Iran in 2012. Forty patients with mild cognitive impairment were selected by convenience sampling based on the diagnosis of a neurologist and a clinical psychologist (MMSE score lower than 25 and The Wechsler Memory Test). The experimental group (20 patients) attended 12 sessions of a cognitive rehabilitation program. As evaluated, by the Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test (WCST). Data were analyzed using MANCOVA. The findings demonstrated that the mean score of the experimental group was greater than the control group (P<0.05) in terms of their shifting attention. The follow-up test revealed that the experimental group experienced an effective rehabilitation intervention over a six month period. Cognitive rehabilitation can impact on improving Shifting attention in individuals with mild cognitive impairment.

“…Eleven studies were randomised controlled trials (42, 44-48, 56, 57, 60, 61, 65) and 5 were quasiexperimental designs; either pretest-posttest between group controlled trials (39,52,58), pretestposttest between group trials (43) or a uncontrolled pretest-posttest design (51).…”

“…One hundred and fifty nine participants from five papers were diagnosed with dementia: McKhann's clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (64) was used in four papers (52,56,58,65) and the DSM-IIIR (39) was used in one study. Two papers used alternative rating scales: age-associated memory impairment (AAMI) (66) was used with 19 participants (51) and Verbal Story Recall ability (67) with 31 participants (42).…”

“…The majority of participants (n=559 from 13 studies) were diagnosed with MCI but 38.5% of the total number of studies included were of participants with dementia (n=159 from 5 studies), while two studies combined individuals living with MCI and dementia (52, 58). Petersen's criteria (59) was applied in six studies (43,46,48,58,60,61); a standardized clinical criteria consistent with recommendation of an international consensus committee (62) was applied in two studies (44,45); the Clinical Dementia Scale (63) was applied in one study (57); and a cut off of 1.5 standard deviations below age norms on a neurocognitive battery (47) was applied in one study (57). Due to inconsistencies in Alzheimer's Disease and dementia terminology in the literature and among clinicians, we refer below to dementia as the generic term.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of cognitive training, specifically computerized cognitive training (CCT) and virtual reality cognitive training (VRCT), programs for individuals living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia and therefore at high risk of cognitive decline. After searching a range of academic databases (CINHAL, PSYCinfo, and Web of Science), the studies evaluated (N = 16) were categorized as CCT (N = 10), VRCT (N = 3), and multimodal interventions (N = 3). Effect sizes were calculated, but a meta-analysis was not possible because of the large variability of study design and outcome measures adopted. The cognitive domains of attention, executive function, and memory (visual and verbal) showed the most consistent improvements. The positive effects on psychological outcomes (N = 6) were significant reductions on depressive symptoms (N = 3) and anxiety (N = 2) and improved perceived use of memory strategy (N = 1). Assessments of activities of daily living demonstrated no significant improvements (N = 8). Follow-up studies (N = 5) demonstrated long-term improvements in cognitive and psychological outcomes (N = 3), and the intervention groups showed a plateau effect of cognitive functioning compared with the cognitive decline experienced by control groups (N = 2). CCT and VRCT were moderately effective in long-term improvement of cognition for those at high risk of cognitive decline. Total intervention time did not mediate efficacy. Future research needs to improve study design by including larger samples, longitudinal designs, and a greater range of outcome measures, including functional and quality of life measures, to assess the wider effect of cognitive training on individuals at high risk of cognitive decline.
