An Experimental Study On The Improvement Of Cognitive Function Of The Elderly By Music Induction Training

With the increasing degree of aging in today’s society,actively dealing with aging population is an important issue facing today’s society.With the extension of life span,the brain,as the core of consciousness and cognition,will gradually undergo structural and functional changes,leading to the decline of cognitive function in the elderly,which is manifested as the decline of memory,understanding,judgment,reasoning,calculation and abstract thinking.The decline of cognitive function in the elderly will not only seriously affect the decline of physical and mental health and quality of life in the elderly,but also bring serious social problems and economic burden.Therefore,delaying the cognitive decline of the elderly is an important breakthrough in the field of aging research,and is also the focus of today’s society.Through the recruitment of the elderly in Hedong District of Tianjin,the author selected 24 normal elderly people aged 65-75 years old and divided them into two groups to carry out the research in this aspect.According to the preliminary investigation,a set of musical sense training techniques suitable for the elderly were created and trained for a month.Before and after the training,cognitive scale,Simple Mental State Scale(MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)were used to evaluate the subjects.Through the analysis and comparison of the data before and after the training,conclusions were drawn as follows:First,the total score of the experimental group and the control group after testing *p <0.05,that is,the total score of the experimental group and the control group after training constitutes a significant difference.The cognitive function of the elderly can be significantly improved through musicality training.Musicality training is an effective intervention method to improve cognitive function of the elderly.Second,through the training of musical sense,the elderly can improve the ability of hearing pitch,melody and timbre and the sense of rhythm,and enhance the ability of auditory attention,auditory discrimination,auditory memory,auditory ordering and auditory understanding.Third,through the training of musical sense,the elderly are more confident and love life,improve the quality of their spiritual life.
