![]() According to Tulving (2002), episodic memory permits an individual to subjectively move through time (i.e., travel through his own self toward the past) while knowing that he is accessing remote experiences that were previously recorded. Although it is a widely studied topic, further empirical studies on the utility of episodic memory training in healthy elderly individuals and elderly individuals with clinical conditions are still needed.Įpisodic memory is a form of memory that allows the recall of events to enable learning and the pursuit of future goals based on an individual's experiences. The main results indicated effectiveness with regard to different forms of the cognitive training of episodic memory.Ĭonclusion: Episodic memory training among the elderly can mitigate the negative effects of cognitive decline in dementia and healthy subjects promoting impacts at social, psychological, and economic levels. The main variables that comprised the intervention protocols (i.e., characteristics of the sample, type of control group, mode of episodic memory training, and duration of training) were investigated, as well as the outcome variables, efficacy, and risk of bias. Results: Of the 572 articles that were identified by the search, 23 were included in the final analysis. Method: We systematically searched the PubMed, PsycNET, Web of Science, and SciELO databases using the descriptors “Episodic Memory” AND “Training” AND “Elderly” OR “Aging” OR “Dementia” in English and translated into Portuguese. Objective: We systematically reviewed studies of the cognitive training of episodic memory in healthy elderly individuals and elderly individuals with clinical conditions. Such intervention strategies as cognitive training are non-pharmacological ways of reducing these losses. During the aging process, episodic memory declines negatively, impacting social and psychological aspects in the elderly. ![]() Introduction: Episodic memory is a cognitive process that allows the recall of experiences, learning, and the pursuit of future goals. ![]() 2Institute of Psychology, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.1Department of Psychology, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.André Rocha Mendonça 1, Lucas Machado Loureiro 1, Carlos Eduardo Nórte 1,2 * and Jesus Landeira-Fernandez 1 ![]()
