简要总结
HYPOTHESIS In older adults who receive a direct intervention from the perspective of occupational therapy with a "Training Program in Daily Cognition", there are greater benefits, both in the overall cognitive performance and in the levels of daily cognition, that in the older adults who receive an intervention based on a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program", achieving not only an improvement or maintenance of cognitive functions, but a generalization and transfer of that improvement in their daily lives and occupational performance.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of a "Training Program in Daily Cognition" in the elderly, to improve the levels of daily cognition and global cognitive performance.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
Compare the difference in levels of daily cognition between the participants of the control group who carry out a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program" and the participants of the experimental group who carry out a "Training Program in Daily Cognition".
Analyze if there is a difference in the levels of global cognitive performance between the participants of the control group that carry out a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program" and the participants of the experimental group that carry out a "Training Program in Daily Cognition".
To study the relationship between standard psychometric tests that measure cognitive performance and the ECB Daily Cognition Battery Recognition Test that measures daily cognition.
Analyze if there is a relationship between age and cognitive performance and the daily cognition of the elderly.
Describe the relationship between the educational level that the participants possess and the cognitive performance and their daily cognition Evaluate the impact of gender in the elderly with cognitive performance and daily cognition.
Check whether or not physical activity influences the cognitive performance and daily cognition of study participants.
STUDY DESIGN: Experimental, randomized, stratified, prospective, longitudinal study using a parallel scheme of fixed allocation experimental group and control group.
The protocol has been authorized by the Ethics Committee of the Salamanca health area to make the project possible.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of a "Training Program in Daily Cognition" in the elderly, to improve levels of daily cognition and overall cognitive performance.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the difference in levels of daily cognition between the participants of the control group who carry out a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program" and the participants of the experimental group who carry out a "Training Program in Daily Cognition".
- To analyze if there is a difference in the levels of global cognitive performance between the participants of the control group that carry out a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program" and the participants of the experimental group that carry out a "Training Program in Daily Cognition".
- To study the relationship between the standard psychometric tests that measure cognitive performance and the Recognition Test (Declarative Memory) of the ECB Daily Battery of Cognition (Everday Cognition Battery), which measures daily cognition.
- Analyze if there is a relationship between age and cognitive performance and the daily cognition of the elderly.
- Describe the relationship between the educational level of the participants and cognitive performance and their daily cognition
- Evaluate the impact of gender on the elderly with performance Cognitive and everyday cognition.
- Check whether or not physical activity influences cognitive performance and daily cognition of study participants.
STUDY DESIGN Experimental, randomized, stratified, prospective, longitudinal study using a parallel scheme of fixed allocation experimental group and control group; in which the evolution of cognitive performance in individuals who voluntarily enrolled in the Occupational Therapy Program offered by HE. Salamanca City Council in different Senior Centers in the city of Salamanca.
The study was carried out over four years with three phases without intervention between them. Each intervention phase lasted 12 weeks. Participants were assessed at the beginning and at the end of each intervention period.

研究组 & 干预措施
Daily Cognition Training Program
The intervention was administered by a qualified professional, in this case an occupational therapist. And it was always individually through specific activities or exercises.
Tasks are carried out in which the subject has to exercise different cognitive functions (praxies, attention, language, memory orientation, gnosias and executive functions; mainly working memory decision making, planning, reasoning and temporal estimation) during the development of AIVD For this, similar materials are used to those that the elderly could find in daily tasks or when solving day-to-day problems.
Specifically we focus on tasks related to taking medication and adherence to treatment.
干预措施: Daily Cognition Training Program (Behavioral)
Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program
The intervention was administered by a qualified professional, in this case an occupational therapist. And it was always individually through specific activities or exercises.
Tasks are performed to work various cognitive functions.
