This study provides an overview of the papers emanating from the
experimental trial that evaluated a new cognitive rehabilitation program
in older adults who were experiencing normal cognitive decline. The main
features of the design are summarized, along with evidence that the
training produced long-lasting improvement in memory performance, goal
management, and psychosocial status. The benefits were attributed to
several factors, including the program's emphasis on techniques that
promoted efficient strategic processing. Limitations of the program and
directions for future research are discussed (JINS, 2007,
13, 166–171.)
