ABSTRACT Objective: In the present paper we present an observational study of the implementation of a Neuropsychological Stimulation Program at an Elderly Day Care Center in low-educated participants with very similar backgrounds concerning social economic status. Methods: The implemented program tackled several dimensions, including daily orientation sessions, cognitive stimulation sessions twice a week, followed by movement sessions, and structured sessions conducted every two weeks. Cognitive Evaluation was performed before and after implementation of the program. Results: Results are discussed taking into consideration cognitive outputs as well as non-cognitive outputs and the specificities of community-based intervention. Conclusion: It was concluded that community-based intervention is set to become vital in promoting dementia prevention.

Before And After

The effect of contingent vs noncontingent feedback on accuracy of imitative production of 8 Polish words was examined for 7 males and 7 females at a rural day care center. In addition, a second measure, on which discrimination of correct and incorrect forms of the same Polish words was required, was administered before and after production training. Accuracy of production improved over sessions for the group receiving contingent feedback; accuracy of production in the noncontingent feedback group did not improve. Both groups performed at chance level during the initial discrimination test and improved significantly and nondifferentially on the later test. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for language development and imitation.
