And he found that age and MMSE scores related to post-test
performance, the pretraining didn’t make a difference. They all couldn’t discriminate
between the three different trainings. Those people over the age of 75 had difficulty
learning the mnemonic strategy, the memory strategies and performed poor on both tasks.
And the post-test at the end of the two-week training showed that there was a little bit
of change but there was no follow-up. I made the point here that the post-test was at the
end of the two-week training and I think again, I go back to the literature itself, when
you read the abstracts or you read the popular literature it says that Yesavage has shown
that memory training works and we will see other people who may say that too. When you go
back to find out how long did it work, it mentions that they know it worked at the end of
the two-week training and that’s all they knew. |
