Summary

Episodic Specificity Induction (ESI) is a short training that improves the production of episodic details during autobiographical recall in young and elderly people without cognitive impairment. But it remains to be determined 1) whether the mechanisms targeted by the ESI affect memory or executive functioning and 2) whether amnestic type (aMCI) or dysexecutive type (dMCI) mild cognitive impairment patients would benefit differently from this training, which has never been tested. By comparing the effect of the ESI on these patients, this would open up new perspectives for their symptomatic care.
