초록

Computerized cognitive training utilized to enhance cognitive function in dementia patients enables them to autonomously execute and acquire tasks while obtaining prompt and precise feedback on their performance. We are designed to highlight the efficacy and clinical relevance of computerized cognitive training programs as therapies for elderly adults with mild dementia. In accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, we conducted a review of pertinent literature across various databases, including the Korean Information Service System, Research Information Sharing Service, National Assembly Digital Library, DBpia, and PubMed, encompassing research from 2003 to 2023. Utilizing rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, we examined a final sample of 12 research. The data indicated that following computerized cognitive training interventions for senior adults with mild dementia, ADAS-Cog exhibited the most substantial effect size (g=-1.400), succeeded by MMSE (g=0.631), DRS (g=0.522), BNT (g=0.335), and GDS (g=-0.304), ranked by intervention efficacy. The findings allow us to assert that computerized cognitive training programs significantly enhance cognitive function, alleviate depressive symptoms, and improve language abilities in elderly individuals with mild dementia.
