The results of a multiple baseline single case study using computerised cognitive
training in older adults with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) are
reported. Two participants each completed 40 sessions of training in two phases:
an initial phase that trained attention, processing speed and cognitive
flexibility, followed by a mixed memory and execution functions phase. It was
hypothesised that participants would improve with practice on the trained tasks,
that the benefits of training would generalise to non-trained neuropsychological
probe measures, and that training would result in improved perceptions of memory
and mood. Results indicated that one participant showed improved performance on
untrained measures of attention and reasoning. On pre/post measures both
participants reported less frequent cognitive failures in everyday life and
improved mood following training. The results are discussed along with
suggestions for future research.
