轻度认知障碍(MCI)被描述为一种没有其他认知功能障碍的记忆缺陷。它可以被认为是一种临床前痴呆。这组人的记忆损害不像早期痴呆症那样严重，因此学习仍然是可能的。我们感兴趣的是，广泛使用的康复技术--无错误学习是否对MCI患者有益。既然已经表明，成功的康复在某种程度上取决于对功能的认识，我们也有兴趣看看MCI患者是否意识到了无错误学习的好处。本研究采用无错误学习程序，对16名MCI患者和16名老年人对照组在无错误和有错误学习条件下学习两组10个单词。我们采用了一种元认知方法来测量人们通过学习判断(JOL)对未来记忆表现的预测进行记忆监控。结果显示，无错误学习是MCI患者的一种有效的记忆康复工具，相对于错误学习，两组人的回忆成绩都有显著提高。最有趣的是，参与者意识到了在他们的工作中进行无错误学习的好处。MCI参与者和对照组在无错误学习条件下学习的单词的JOL都显著更高。讨论了MCI的学习绩效和元认知意识理论。
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been described as a memory deficit in the absence of other cognitive dysfunction. It can be thought of as a pre-clinical dementia. Memory impairment in this group is not as severe as in early dementia and thus learning is still possible. We were interested to see if errorless learning, a widely used rehabilitation technique, was of benefit to people with MCI. Since it has been shown that successful rehabilitation is somewhat contingent on awareness of function, we were also interested to see if people with MCI were aware of the benefits of errorless learning. The present study employed an errorless learning procedure on 16 people with MCI and 16 older adult controls to learn two lists of 10 words in errorless and errorful learning conditions. We adopted a metacognitive approach measuring people's memory monitoring through judgements of learning ( JOLs) a prediction of future memory performance. The results revealed errorless learning is an effective memory rehabilitation tool for people with MCI, with significant increases in recall performance for both groups relative to errorful learning. Most interestingly participants were aware of the benefits of errorless learning in their JOLs. MCI participants and controls both had significantly higher JOLs for words studied under errorless learning conditions. The learning performance in MCI and theories of metacognitive awareness are discussed.
