Integrative Review on Memory Stimulation Training for Elderly Without Cognitive Impairment

Erika Carla Cavalcanti Gomes authored an integrative review of 12 articles published in the last seven years. The review investigates the repercussions of memory stimulation training on the functionality of elderly individuals aged 60 and above without a diagnosis of cognitive impairment. The literature search was conducted across Lilacs, Medline, and IBECS databases using keywords related to elderly health, memory, and cognition.

• Informing the design of cognitive training programs based on findings about activities of daily living.

Strengths

• The review is based on 12 original articles meeting specific inclusion criteria.
• Literature search covered three major databases (Lilacs, Medline, IBECS) and articles in three languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish).
• Focus is on a specific population: individuals aged 60+ without diagnosed cognitive impairment.

Limitations
