Abstract
Dementia is manifested by a severely limited memory and performance of cognitive abilities. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is an early stage of memory loss which can later lead to Dementia. It has been proven that you can delay cognitive dysfunction, e.g. memory, by “training the brain” through various cognitive exercises. However, those with MCI are difficult to detect because their memory loss is subtle. The purpose of this study is to first, enhance MCI recognition in elderly individuals and second, to determine the efficacy of memory training in the community.
