Efficacy of cognitive behavioural intervention in improving everyday memory function of older people

The present study focused on the assessment of everyday memory in the aged (N=600) and the efficacy of the intervention. The main sample includes men and women in the age group of 60–75, and above. Everyday memory performance was assessed among older subjects and after identifying the subjects with poor everyday memory. The intervention was carried out on a select sample of older men and women (n=120) with poor everyday memory performance. The interventions were carried out on a select sample of subjects. The subjects were exposed to the intervention module by using cognitive behavioral memory interventions for everyday memory. The results are discussed in the light of psychological interventions to improve the quality of life of older men and women particularly with poor everyday performance.
