“…In the light of our findings, PD-MCI patients with a specific pattern of deterioration in attention/working memory domain should undergo cognitive training which researchers showed to be effective in maintaining and improving cognitive abilities. In a randomized control trial (Petrelli et al, 2014), 65 patients with PD were allocated to one of two cognitive multi-component treatments (a structured training, named "NEUROvitalis" -NV-and a nonstructured one, named "Mentally Fit" -MF-, each including 12 group sessions of 90 minutes over 6 weeks) or a waiting list control group (CG). The NV includes individual tasks, group tasks and group games each focusing on specific cognitive functions (i.e., attention, memory, executive functions) whereas in MF cognitive domain training was not addressed in focus sections but over the course of the program and differently from NV.…”

“…Furthermore, psychoeducational elements e.g. with topics related to healthy cognitive aging including risk and protective factors, mechanisms of cognitive functions, or cognitive strategies are part of some cognitive group trainings which were developed for elderly people with or without cognitive dysfunctions [15] [16] [17] [18], but are usually not implemented in digital trainings. However, standardized CCT programs tailored for elderly people could be especially useful, as they would constitute a form of "guided" training [11] for this group.…”

Computerized cognitive training (CCT) can improve cognition in older adults. However, specific programs for this target group have rarely been developed, and predictors of training success are largely unclear. In a randomized controlled pilot trial, we examined effects of a six-week CCT, tailored to the cognitive profile of healthy older adults (EG, n = 21) as compared to a nonspecific CCT (CG, n = 18) matched in frequency and intensity. No interaction effects between Group and Time were found. However, within-group analysis showed significant gains in verbal and non-verbal memory, executive and visuospatial functions and subjective cognitive concerns (SCC) in the EG, while the CG only benefitted in non-verbal memory and set-shifting. Low cognitive performance and lower SCC at baseline were the most consistent predictors of cognitive gains in the EG. Thus, CCTs specifically tailored to older adults seem advantageous compared to non-specific CCT. Further, we conclude that SCC may be related to reduced cognitive plasticity.

Review methods: Articles were included if the sample were adults with a neurological disorder, the intervention was group-based cognitive rehabilitation for memory problems, and if the study was a randomised controlled trial. Articles were independently screened for inclusion and data extracted by two researchers, with the third researcher arbitrating any disputes.Results: Fourteen studies were included in this review. The reporting of certain aspects of an intervention was found to be poor, particularly in relation to: duration of the programme (6 of 14 studies did not report), the development of the intervention (7 of 14 studies did not discuss), and the content and structure of intervention (7 of the 14 studies did not provide details Review methods: Articles were included if the sample were adults with a neurological disorder, the intervention was group-based cognitive rehabilitation for memory problems, and if the study was a randomised controlled trial.

A draft checklist is provided that could be refined and validated in further research.
