Hayslip Jr. B et al. – Analyses of blinded ratings made by staff members responsible for each person's daily care before and after the program indicated that mental aerobics (MA) program residents' ratings were more likely to improve over time, relative to those of the control group, for interpersonal skills, emotional functioning, cognitive/memory functioning, relationships with staff, and reliance on medications to control behavior or remember things. For everyday activity/involvement and reliance on medications, the effects of MA training were the most substantial. These pilot findings suggest MA has potential in positively impacting cognitively impaired older adults.
