The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a cognitive stimulation software on attention, memory, reasoning, planning, and frequency of activities of daily living, in Mexican older adults. To carry out this research, an experimental research design was used, comprising two groups (experimental, n = 28 and control on a waiting list, n = 33) with pre- and post-evaluation, where adults over 60 years of age gathered in meeting centers to complete a sociodemographic data sheet, a psychometric test that evaluates attention, memory, reasoning, planning, and an inventory of activities of daily living of the elderly. The participants interacted with the software via touchscreens for 12 cognitive stimulation exercises. The results indicate improvements in the participants’ attention and concentration, and in the types of work, logic, and spontaneous memory, as well as a significant increase in the frequency of instrumental activities in the home by participants of both sexes, and in the social activities of the men. It was concluded that cognitive stimulation software can be used in Mexican older adults to achieve improvements in cognitive functioning. This is justified due to the importance of maintaining cognitive abilities in old age since their deterioration affects activities of daily living, which are essential for an independent life.

这项研究的目的是评估墨西哥老年人中认知刺激软件对注意力，记忆，推理，计划和日常生活活动频率的影响。为了进行这项研究，使用了一项实验研究设计，包括两组（实验组，n = 28，等待名单上的对照组，n = 33），并进行了评估前和评估后，其中包括60岁以上的成年人会议中心完成一份社会人口统计学数据表，一项心理测验，以评估注意力，记忆力，推理，计划以及老年人的日常生活活动清单。参与者通过触摸屏与该软件进行了交互，进行了12次认知刺激练习。结果表明，参与者的注意力和注意力以及工作类型，逻辑，和自发性记忆，以及男女参与者在家中进行乐器活动的频率以及男人的社交活动的显着增加。结论是，认知刺激软件可用于墨西哥老年人，以改善认知功能。这是有理由的，因为保持老年的认知能力很重要，因为它们的衰弱会影响日常生活，而这对于独立生活至关重要。
