Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of a daily cognition training programme versus a traditional cognitive stimulation programme in cognitively unimpaired older adults on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality.

Detailed description

The present study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of programmes that use everyday cognition for the assessment and intervention of healthy elderly people with the aim of maintaining or improving autonomy, compared to other programmes based on traditional cognitive stimulation, whose benefits do not generalise to significant improvements in everyday life. In addition, the investigators seek to relate how the presence of depression in older people impacts on everyday cognition, and therefore on the functionality of IADLs. 2\. WORKING HYPOTHESIS AND MAIN OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED 1. WORKING HYPOTHESES * Alternative hypothesis (H1): Everyday cognition training programmes are more effective than traditional cognitive stimulation on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality in older adults without cognitive impairment. * Null hypothesis (Ho): Everyday cognition training programmes are not more effective than traditional cognitive stimulation on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality in older adults without cognitive impairment. In order to validate or disprove the main hypothesis, the following objectives have been developed: 2. OBJECTIVES: i. MAIN OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a daily cognition training programme versus a traditional cognitive stimulation programme in older adults without cognitive impairment, for cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality. ii. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: * To compare the differences in the emotional state of older adults without cognitive impairment between the everyday cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation. * To contrast the differences in the cognitive function of older adults without cognitive impairment between the daily cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation. * To analyse the differences in the frailty index of older adults without cognitive impairment between the daily cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation. * To identify the differences in the functionality of older adults without cognitive impairment between the daily cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	programme based on everyday cognition	Will carry out a programme based on everyday cognition, As material for use as for the traditional cognitive stimulation sessions, a training booklet on everyday cognition has been created which includes all the sessions mentioned above. Each day one of these tasks will be worked on.
OTHER	traditional cognitive stimulation	Individual cognitive skills such as attention, memory, executive functions, orientation, praxis, calculation, visual perception and reasoning will be trained. The materials and media used will be a cognitive stimulation notebook created for the study which includes cards in printed paper format to be completed by the participants.
