A Comparative Single

Although cognitive training is effective for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), it is not clear which format is more effective. To compare the effectiveness of the same language programs when carried out via computer, paper/pencil and orally in people with MCI. Seventy-one participants with MCI were randomly classified in 3 experimental and 2 control groups. The experimental groups attended 48 sessions of language training for 6 months. The control groups attended either unstructured sessions or they were on waiting list. Mixed measures analysis of variance, at the follow-up, showed a significant cognitive abilities improvement among the experimental versus control groups. At the end of the language training, the 3 groups presented improvement in cognitive abilities and daily function, while the control groups remained at the same performance level. All 3 cognitive language training methods were equally significantly effective
