简要总结
The main empirical question to be addressed is: What types of memory support are most potent for patients who are experiencing a mild cognitive impairment (MCI) relative to non-MCI patients?
详细描述
People experiencing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may benefit from adding memory support to treatment-as-usual. Adding memory support may be an innovative way to improve patient memory for treatment, adherence to treatment and outcome.
The key question is: What types of memory support are most potent for MCI patients relative to non-MCI patients?
The aim of the proposed research is to assess patient memory for treatment and the impact of adding memory support for people who are and are not experiencing MCI. The investigators will also compare the effectiveness of constructive vs. non-constructive memory supports for people who are experiencing MCI compared to people who are not experiencing MCI.
Hypotheses:
- Recall of the content of treatment will be lower in the MCI group relative to the non-MCI group.
- Constructive memory support will be more effective for the non-MCI group relative to the MCI group.
- Non-constructive memory support will be more effective for the MCI group relative to the non-MCI group.

研究组 & 干预措施
Constructive memory support
Participants will watch videos of a sleep expert delivering treatment components from the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TranS-C). After each video, a team member will deliver constructive memory supports.
干预措施: Transdiagnostic sleep and circadian intervention (TranS-C) (Behavioral)
Non-constructive memory support
Participants will watch videos of a sleep expert delivering treatment components from the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TranS-C). After each video, a team member will deliver non-constructive memory supports.
干预措施: Transdiagnostic sleep and circadian intervention (TranS-C) (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Number of items recalled on the free recall task to assess outcome for non-constructive memory support
时间窗: Delivered two times: At the end of the session in which non-constructive memory supports were used (baseline) and 1 week later.
Assesses patient memory for treatment
Number and accuracy of thoughts about the material covered in the prior treatment session in which constructive memory supports were delivered
时间窗: Delivered once: At the beginning of the session held 1 week after the delivery of the constructive memory supports
To assess if the participant thought about the therapy session and if the thoughts accurately reflected the prior treatment session
Number and accuracy of applications of the material covered in the prior treatment session in which non-constructive memory supports were delivered
时间窗: Delivered once: At the beginning of the session held 1 week after the delivery of the non-constructive memory supports
To assess if the participant applied the material covered in the therapy session and if the participant accurately applied the material prior treatment session
