Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of present study, a decrease of mild cognitive function (MCI) was studied the relationship between the information processing function and cognitive function after one year of the elderly facility residents. Subjects were 20 people elderly. For all of the subjects were examined that cognitive function(MoCA), motor function, depression, the instrumental activities of daily living. It was also evaluated information processing function using Flanker task(Ericcson). The task wasperformed a total of 120 enforcement. The statistically analysis was adjusted at baseline, it was observed cognitive function about a year later processing time that was low grade. There were suggested functions involved in the information processing minus neurotransmitter time, later to be associated with decreased cognitive function. Thus it was thought that is useful in screening for early stages.
