概括
认知刺激 (CS) 为患有轻度至中度痴呆症的个人提供了小型的短期认知益处. 这种干预措施还显示了沟通,社交互动,生活质量和情绪的改善,没有报告的负面影响.
科学领域:
- 老年学和痴呆症护理
- 心理社会干预 心理社会干预
- 医疗保健中的基于证据的实践
背景情况:
- 认知刺激 (CS) 是一种广泛实施的痴呆症干预措施,涉及愉快的活动来增强思维,注意力和记忆.
- 认知培训与认知训练/康复不同的是,它广泛关注生活质量 (QoL) 和情绪,以及认知功能.
- 现有的指导方针建议使用CS,但关于输送方式和临床意义的证据需要进行系统审查.
研究的目的:
- 系统评估认知刺激 (CS) 对痴呆症患者的有效性.
- 评估对认知,生活质量,情绪和行为的影响,包括任何不良影响.
- 探索不同的实施方法如何影响CS结果.
主要方法:
- 对痴呆症的CS随机对照试验 (RCT) 的系统审查和元分析.
- 在Cochrane痴呆和认知改进小组登记和其他数据库进行的搜索截至2022年3月.
- 根据干预方式,频率,设置,对照类型和痴呆症严重程度进行的子组分析.
主要成果:
- 包括37个RCT (2766名参与者),中等质量的证据显示了小型的短期认知益处 (SMD 0.40).
- 在沟通,社会互动 (高质量证据) 和 QoL (中等质量证据) 中观察到临床相关的改善.
- 认知益处在更频繁的会议 (每周≥两次) 和轻度痴呆症中更大.
结论:
- 认知刺激 (CS) 为轻度至中度痴呆症患者提供了小型的短期认知益处,并改善了沟通,社交互动,生活质量和情绪.
- 需要对单个CS,数字/远程交付,多组件程序和长期影响进行进一步的研究.
- 会议的频率和痴呆症的严重程度似乎影响了CS的结果,这需要进一步调查.

Cognitive Development During Adulthood
49
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists
95
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function.

Dementia
94
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment
161
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
440
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Cognitivism

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...
