 An exploratory study of executive functional (EF) training was conducted on the elderly with the aim to prevent dementia. Fifteen healthy and very mildly demented elderly adults (age 83.1±7.2 years, MMSE score 27±1.9) and fifteen controls (age 84.5±4.8 years, MMSE score 26.3±1.9) participated in this study. The current study investigated the effects of training using several measurements such as cognition, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), depression and motor function. The EF training was based on earlier studies consisting of five tasks. A total of twelve trainings sessions were administered to each person. Results indicate significant improvements in the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and Trail Making Test (TMT). Stroop incongruity and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) were identified in only the EF trained elderly. Factor analysis revealed improvements in three domains:‘intelligence-activities', ‘MMSE-FAB accordance' and ‘inhibition-switching'. The results suggest that all five EF tasks raised information processing speed, one improved regulating function, two enhanced mental flexibility and one strengthened inhibition function.
