Lettura, memoria, declino cognitivo: uno studio pilota

Abstract

In this paper we present a pilot study in which we cross competences in pedagogy and neuroscience (Neuroscience and Education; Rivoltella, 2012). We aim to show the results of a reading training in patients of nursing homes. In particular a cognitive screening test called Test Your Memory, and other specific neuropsychological test for memory (short term-long term and working memory) and a trial for autobiographical memory were administered before and after the training. Here, we analyze results for what concern the quantity and quality of the autobiographical production.
