Herrera, C.; Chambon, C.; Michel, B. F.; Paban, V.; Alescio-Lautier, B. – Neuropsychologia, 2012
Considering the high risk for individuals with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (A-MCI) to progress towards Alzheimer's disease (AD), we investigated the efficacy of a non-pharmacological intervention, that is, cognitive training that could reduce cognitive difficulties and delay the cognitive decline. For this, we evaluated the efficacy of a…
