Abstract:
This study provides an overview of the papers emanating from the experimental trial that evaluated a new cognitive
rehabilitation program in older adults who were experiencing normal cognitive decline. The main features of the
design are summarized, along with evidence that the training produced long-lasting improvement in memory
performance, goal management, and psychosocial status. The benefits were attributed to several factors, including
the program?s emphasis on techniques that promoted efficient strategic processing. Limitations of the program and
directions for future research are discussed (JINS, 2007, 13, 166?171.)
