This project will develop and test the effects and mechanisms of a music improvisation training intervention on self-regulation of older adults with and without MCI. The investigator's overall hypothesis is that improvisation training will lead to improvements in self-regulation, compared to controls, and that improvisation training will be associated with specific changes in prefrontal brain networks and ultimately cognitive engagement.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire | Self-report measure of the ability to regulate one's behavior in a goal-oriented way. This self-reported questionnaire contains 31 items, each item was scored on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The questionnaire scores ranged from 31 to 155, with higher scores indicating better self-regulation behavior. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Primary | Florida Cognitive Activities Scale | The Florida Cognitive Activities Scale is a 25-item scale (0-never to 5-daily) used to assess the cognitive activity in elderly populations. There are two subscales, the Higher Cognitive Abilities and Frequent Cognitive Abilities, and also a measure of self-reported maintenance of cognitive activity. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | National Institutes of Health ToolBox Self-Efficacy | The NIH Toolbox Self-Efficacy Scale is a 10-item self-reported measure that assesses belief in one's capacity to manage and have control over meaningful events in life. Scores for each item range from 1 to 5 (never to very often). Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | Short GRIT Scale | The Grist-S is a self-report, 8-item questionnaire that measures the extent to which individuals are able to maintain focus and interest and persevere in obtaining long-term goals. Scores for each item range from 1 to 5, with overall scores being calculated by added up all points and dividing by 8. Higher scores indicate a higher level of "grit," or perseverance. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | Five Facets of Mindfulness | Measures components of mindfulness, which is a tendency to attend to the present moment with a non-judgemental attitude. Scores for each item range from 1 to 6 (never to always true). Mindfulness and self-regulation ability have been identified as closely aligned in recent theoretical frameworks (e.g., the self- awareness, -regulation, and -transcendence model of mindfulness. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | National Institutes of Health Toolbox Loneliness Scale | Self-report measure that assesses perceptions of loneliness and assesses the extent to which an individual feels alone or socially isolated from other individuals. The NIH Toolbox Loneliness Survey is a self-report measure that assesses perceptions of loneliness using a 5-item fixed length form. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | National Institutes of Health Toolbox Apathy | Instruments measuring deficits in-goal directed behavior and decrements in in-goal related thought content. It is 7 items, each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (not at all true to very true). The total score ranges from 18 to 72, with higher scores indicating more apathy. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | Geriatric Depression Scale - Short Form | A short form comprising of 15-items, which is effective for the diagnosis of depression of elderly, is more simple, brief and time-effective. | Baseline and 12-week Post Intervention | |
Secondary | 10-item Personality Inventory | Brief assessment of the Big Five Personality Dimensions: 1. Extraversion, 2. Agreeableness, 3. Conscientiousness, 4. Emotional Stability, and 5. Openness to Experience consisting of 10 items. Scores range from 1 (disagree strongly) to 7 (agree strongly). | Baseline Only |
