Barbara Stiglbauer, Martin Böhm

Psychiatrische Praxis 2018 January

OBJECTIVE: The paper aims to illustrate how continuously recording performance in cognitive trainings conducted with people suffering from dementia helps to investigate long-term effects of these trainings.

METHODS: The recorded training performance of 5 people with dementia is analyzed over the time interval of 1.5 years.

RESULTS: Cognitive functioning, indicated by training performance recordings, decreased significantly; the decrease was moderate, but less pronounced when the number of exercises was high.

CONCLUSION: The results of the analyses correspond with the clients' MMSE-scores, and the changes in cognitive functioning are in line with those documented in the literature. In sum, the results provide support for the validity of the methodological procedure.
