Cognitive Stimulation Exercise Notebooks - Volume I

The Cognitive Stimulation Exercise Notebook was developed with the aim of being an additional contribution to all those who work daily with older people and face the gradual loss of their cognitive functions.

The COVID-19 Pandemic, with the rules imposed for protection, implies isolation and social distancing, which has worsened cognitive decline, further depriving our older population of social contact and their routines, essential for maintaining cognitive functioning.
This Exercise Notebook offers a diverse set of stimulation activities that work on different cognitive functions, with three levels of difficulty to suit the abilities and interests of each person. The diversity of the exercises also allows for application to illiterate individuals or those with low education.
Whenever possible, the execution of these exercises should be enriched with moments of social interaction and meaningful activities for the person. This Exercise Notebook aims to be a complementary contribution to the maintenance of cognitive abilities and quality of life for the people it is intended for.
