Description
This manual presents an intervention programme of memory enhancement for older adults that integrates two approaches: cognitive restructuring and traditional memory training. The programme is organized in a series of sessions with a built-in progression. Each session activity is broken down for the facilitator in terms of manageable units of work for the group participants and handout exercises for independent completion. This manual also includes instruction in the role of health conditions and dietary factors that affect memory enhancement in the elderly.
