This study sought to investigate the changes in attention in older adults with mild cognitive impairment after Multi-domain Attention Training .
This double-blind randomized controlled study has a 2-arm parallel group design. All subjects will be randomized by the block randomization, into intervention group (Multi-domain Attention Training, MAT), or active control group (Passive information activities, PIA). Training sessions of the MAT group are 45 minutes/day, 3 days/week, for 12 weeks (36 sessions each). The training of PIA group is the same as MAT group. The investigators constructed a rigorous MAT program adhering to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) reporting guidelines. The investigators expect to determine the improvement in attention function of older adults with mild cognitive impairment after using the MAT program.
Exclusion Criteria:
Training sessions of the MAT group is 45 minutes/day, 3 sessions/week, for 12 weeks (36 sessions).
Behavioral: Multi-domain Attention Training (MAT)
The training sessions of PIA is the same as MAT group (45 min/day, 3 days/week, for 12 weeks, for a total of 36 sessions).
Behavioral: Passive information activities (PIA)
The training content emphasis three concept of attention include: intensity of attention, executive attention, and spatial orienting attention.
Also known as: Attention training
The active control group (Passive information activities) training content included reading online e-books and playing online games.
Also known as: Active control group
Change in attention as measured by the Digit Span Task (DS).
The primary outcome indicators is executive attention assessed by the Digit Span Task (DS).
Time frame: Change from baseline in executive attention at Immediate post-test, 3 months, 6 months after intervention.
Change in attention as measured by the Trail Making Test (TMT).
The secondary outcome indicator is spatial orienting attention evaluated by the Trail Making Test.
Time frame: Change from baseline in spatial orienting attention at Immediate post-test, 3 months, 6 months after intervention.
