The cross-sectional quantitative approach was used , a pre-experimental design with pre- and post-test was applied to a study group and a control group of older adults, of a descriptive type, using mainly hypothetical-deductive and statistical methods. To meet its objective, the Brief Neuropsi test was applied to determine the levels of perception, attention and memory and the Mini-mental test to determine the cognitive state of 13 older adults, of whom 6 individuals formed the study group and 7 the control group. The main results made possible to show that after the execution of the intervention through a neuropsychological program directed to the study group of older adults with normal and mild cognitive status, a significant difference compared to the older adults in the control group was demonstrated. This efficacy was verified through the Mann-Whitney U Test. which, when applied to the post-test results of the Mini Mental Test instrument, yielded an asymptotic significance value equal to 0.041, and when applying this statistical test to the post-test results of the Brief Neuropsi test, yielded an asymptotic significance value of 0.04. In both cases, the asymptotic significance is ≤ 0.05, thus the general hypothesis of the research was accepted, which stated that "Older adults with normal and mild cognitive status who participate in neuropsychological intervention to stimulate the cognitive functions of attention, memory and perception present ran a good performance of these functions, than the older adults in the control group.” Keywords: neuropsychological intervention, cognitive functions, cognitive stimulation, cognitive impairment |
