After 3 months of learning therapy intervention, the results indicated that: (1) Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI): The mean score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (0.48 vs. 2.57). This indicates that the symptom severity in the control group was higher than that in the experimental group, reaching a statistically significant difference (t = -5.350), (p = 0.000).
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE): The experimental group showed improvement in the post-test results, whereas the control group showed a decline. After receiving learning therapy, the mean MMSE score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (15.70 vs. 14.14), reaching a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001).
