More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE, short for Advanced Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most started when they were more than 70 years old.
One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed of processing speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group, the control group, did not get any training.
Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says the research showed most of the training remained effective a full 10 years later.
We were wondering whether those effects would endure over time and would still be there 10 years following the training, and in fact thats exactly what we found.
The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the older people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group.
Professor Rebok and his team are now considering ways to provide such training for lower cost.
We are trying to make the training more broadly available. For example, we have a grant right now from the National Institute on Aging to try to make a Web-based version of the active memory training and then put the training online.
