The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a computerized cognitive training(CCT) on cognitive, depression, life satisfaction and activity of daily living in older adults with mild dementia. The participants were 32 older adults diagnosed with mild dementia who reside in nursing hospital and were randomly divided into an 16 for an experimental group and 16 for a control group. A CCT was performed for a day/week for 8 weeks in an experimental group. The CoTras-G was used for CCT. The MMSE-K, SGDS-K, ELS and BI were administered to the experimental group and the control group in the same way in order to examine the effects of CCT. The difference of the effects between before and after a CCT conduction were identified by paired t-test. Moreover, the Mann-Whitney U-test was conducted to identify differences in variances between groups. Only participants in the experimental group reported significant improvements in cognitive function, depression, life satisfaction and activity of daily living when compared to those in the control group after CCT. There was a significant difference in cognitive function, depression, life satisfaction and activity of daily living between the experimental group and the control group after CCT. These findings suggest that the CCT can be used as effective cognitive training program to improve cognitive function, depression, life satisfaction and activity of daily living in older adults with mild dementia.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a community-based cognitive stimulation program on cognitive function and subjective memory in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment. This study was applied by selecting 15 users who understood the purpose of this study and agreed to participate in the shelter program for more than 3 months from April 2019 to August 2019 at the D Dementia Center in G located, Gyeonggi-do. The program consisted of a total of 36 cognitive stimulation programs 3 times a week a total of 3 months. Cognitive stimulation program stimulates cognitive function through various activities such as orientation reinforcement, cognitive training, recall, music, art, and physical play, and is used for the purpose of improving social function. It consists of folk songs, percussion instruments, national gymnastics, dance, games, and traditional games. As a result of the cognitive stimulation program, the average cognitive function increased by 2.13 points from 26.33 points before implementation to 28.46 points after implementation, and a statistically significant result was obtained (p=0.000). Subjective memory decreased by 3.53 points from the average of 7.13 points before the cognitive stimulation program was implemented to 3.60 points after the implementation, and a statistically significant result was obtained (p=0.000). It can be confirmed that this works. Dementia is leading to a cost burden, and congnitive function decreases the aqulity of life. It brings various burdens. It is necessary to study cognitive stimulation programs applied to various environments in the future.

전통적인 수학교육은 간단한 수학적 사실을 이해하고 활용하는 측면에 있어서는 효과적일 수도 있지만, 수학적 개념, 원리, 법칙을 학생 스스로 탐구, 발견하고 창조하는 능력을 기르는 데는 적절하지 않다. 이러한 능력을 기르기 위해서는 학생들 스스로가 관찰, 조작, 분석, 종합하는 활동을 강화할 필요가 있다. 구체적 조작물을 학습도구로 활용하는 경우, 수학 학습에 대한 흥미와 자신감을 길러 주고, 자신의 수준에 맞는 내용을 자기 주도적 학습을 통하여 성취감을 가지게 하며, 학생 스스로 탐구 활동을 활발히 하는데 도움이 된다. 삶의 질이 급격히 향상되는 정보사회에서는 사이버 공간의 등장으로 공간감각 기능의 필요성이 더욱 절실한 바, 현행 수학교과서에서 제공되는 각종 공간 도형들은 3차원 공간에서 이루어지지 않고 평면도형으로 처리함으로써 아동의 도형인지 능력 향상에 큰 효과를 기대하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 아동의 인지발달 단계를 고려, 도형인지능력 향상을 위한 선 및 점대칭 관련 동기유발, 선수, 기본, 보충, 심화, 평가, 도움말 관련 프로그램을 개발, 적용한 결과 학습자의 동기가 유발되고, 도형 인지능력 향상에 유의미한 결과를 얻었다.

This study identified effect size of cognition improvement programs developed for normal elderly in Korea. By searching four databases, 9,624 studies published from 2000 to 2016 were identified. Finally, 14 studies which satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected for meta-analysis. Quality assessment of included studies was conducted using controlled trial checklist of Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) with "meta" and "metafor" package was used to calculate effect sizes, identify the reasons of heterogeneity, and check publication bias. Total effect size of cognition improvement program was middle (SMD=0.759, p<.001, $I^2=34%$). For heterogeneity, moderator analysis was executed and combined program with exercise had the largest effect size (SMD=1.231, p<.001, $I^2=40.8%$). Publication bias was exist by funnel plot and Egger 's regression test, but trim and fill analysis showed that there was no serious error to reverse study results. Therefore, Combined program with exercise for the normal elderly was expected to improve the cognitive function of the normal elderly.
