For the measurement, some parts of K-WISC-Ⅲ test (vocabulary, block design, arithmetics, sequencing, and digit span), RCFT(Rey Complex Figure Test), AVLT(Auditory Verbal Learning Test), and letter-number sequencing of WISC-Ⅳ were adopted. According to the research result, the cognitive enhancement program group showed a statistically significant difference in the arithmetics and digit span subtest of K-WISC-Ⅲ and the delay recollection of AVLT.
