Artistic expression via methods of training memory and cognitive abilities in senior citizens.
ŠVECOVÁ, Dagmar
The thesis deals with the use of artistic expression in methods to train the cognitive functions of the elderly. The theoretical part includes a summary of findings about aging and old age and explains the importance of stimulating the elderly in our republic. It also deals with characteristic features of artistic expression and artheterapy for elderly. In the practical part methods are described which exploit artistic expression in enhancing cognitive functions not only in elderly people with dementia within the framework of the stimulation programme in old people's homes but also, by means of voluntary memory training courses. The author tries to ascertain the extent how art therapy methods can be applied in these programmes in such a way that the two approaches could complement, supplement and enrich each other.
