COGNITIVE STIMULATION
Cognitive stimulation is the first scientifically recognized non-pharmacological therapy.
It is a strategically oriented intervention to maintain the overall well-being of the person, so as to increase involvement in tasks aimed at reactivation and/or maintenance of residual skills and at slowing down functional loss due to a condition of disease. It is an effective intervention that needs to be structured on the basis of the emerging difficulties of the person and the cognitive areas involved in the process of decay.
The stimulation therefore has a neuroprotective effect of the structures of the brain as a real process of accumulation, structural and functional, Thanks to which the upper brain structures are able to work adequately despite the progress of the harmful neurodegenerative action related to pathological and physiological aging, thus creating a real cognitive reserve.
