辅助生活设施的居民有认知能力下降的风险，这会促使养老院的安置。认知训练保护认知，并导致社区居住的老人保持自我照顾。这项试点研究测试了一种干预措施，旨在改善辅助生活居民的推理和日常问题解决能力。志愿者（N= 4）完成了为期一个月的辅助生活培训课程中的六个推理练习。比较了干预前、干预后即刻和3个月的问题解决随访评估。认知障碍老年人的日常问题（EPCCE）评分从干预前（M=11.00，SD = 8.83）到干预后（M=19.5，SD=8.35）增加了20%，t=-312，p = 0.05。3个月后，受试者表现出持续的EPCCE评分改善（M = 21.75，SD = 4.57，t =-3.95，p = 0.03）。
Assisted Living Facility residents are at risk for cognitive decline that precipitates nursing home placement. Cognitive training protects cognition and leads to maintained self-care for community dwelling elders. This pilot study tested an intervention designed to improve reasoning and everyday problem solving for assisted living residents. Volunteers (N= 4) completed the six Reasoning Exercises in Assisted Living training sessions provided over one month. Pre-intervention, immediate post-intervention, and 3 month follow-up assessments of problem solving were compared. Scores on the Everyday Problems for Cognitively Challenged Elderly (EPCCE) increased 20% from pre (M=11.00, SD = 8.83) to post-intervention (M=19.5, SD=8.35), t=−312, p = .05. After three months, subjects showed sustained EPCCE score improvement (M = 21.75, SD = 4.57, t =−3.95, p = .03).
