Brief summary
* There will be a significant difference in cognitive function between cognitive intervention group (group therapy) and a wait list control group. * There will be a significant difference in cognitive function between a home-based cognitive intervention group and a wait list control group.
Detailed description
The change of Modified ADAS-cog score from the baseline to post-intervention will be compared between the cognitive intervention group and wait list control group.
Interventions
OTHERgroup cognitive intervention
The cognitive training will be administered twice a week for 12 weeks, located in hospital-based outpatient memory clinics. Each session will last approximately 90 minutes. The cognitive training programs will be offered in group sessions consisted of 5 participants.
OTHERHome-based cognitive intervention
The participants will do their paper and pencil homework for 30 minutes every business days for 12 weeks.
