本文考虑了两种非传统方法来制定干预措施以改善老年人的认知。这两种方法都不依赖于实验室中对特定能力的传统显式训练。第一种技术涉及通过形成实施意图来激活自动过程，从而提高完成所需行动的可能性，例如记住服药。第二个涉及通过实验研究积极的社交和认知参与在提高认知方面的作用。然后我们考虑与这些新技术的使用相关的方法论问题。
This article considers two nontraditional approaches for developing interventions to improve cognition in older adults. Neither of these approaches relies on traditional explicit training of specific abilities in the laboratory. The first technique involves the activation of automatic processes through the formation of implementation intentions that enhance the probability that a desired action will be completed, such as remembering to take medications. The second involves experimentally studying the role of active social and cognitive engagement in improving cognition. We then consider methodological issues associated with the use of these novel techniques.
