ObjectivesIn a randomized controlled trial，we investigated whether a cognitive training based on rhythmic-music and music improvisation exercises had positive effects on executive functions in older participants. Methods 35名居民在一个有轻度-中度认知障碍和健康老龄化的招待所被随机分配到一个实验组（n=18），其特点是认知音乐训练，包括12个双周70分钟的会议，对照组（n=17）参加12次由本院提供的每两周45分钟的体操活动。在治疗前和治疗结束时进行神经心理学成套测验，包括简易精神状态检查、言语流畅性测验、连线测验A、注意矩阵测验和画钟测验。结果治疗前后比较，实验组在简易精神状态检查中有显著性改善（F（1，33）=13.906; p
ObjectivesIn a randomised controlled trial, we investigated whether a cognitive training based on rhythm-music and music improvisation exercises had positive effects on executive functions in older participants.MethodsThirty-five residents in a guest home with mild-moderate cognitive impairment and healthy ageing were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=18) featuring cognitive music training composed of 12 bi-weekly 70-min sessions, and a control group (n=17) attended 12 bi-weekly 45-min sessions of gymnastic activities offered by the institute. A neuropsychological test battery was administered at baseline and at the end of treatment, including the Mini-Mental State Examination, verbal fluency test, Trail Making Test A, attentional matrices test and clock-drawing test.ResultsPre-test and post-test comparison showed a significant improvement for the experimental group reflected in the Mini-Mental State Examination (F(1,33)=13.906; p
