abstract="This study investigated the effectiveness of a music-based sensory training program in improving environmental awareness, activity participation level, reality orientation, and attitude of 22 regressed geriatric patients. Subjects'were randomly assigned. to experimental (N = 11) and control (N = 11) groups, and, evaluated individually on measures of sensory awareness, reality orientation, attitude, and activity participation level at the beginning, middle; and end of the treatment program. Experimental subjects attended two 30-minute group sessions weekly for 16 weeks. Control subjects received no treatment. A mixed effects analysis of variance was conducted for each dependent variable, and in all four cases a significant interaction was found between groups and treatment conditions. The control group remained the same across trials while the experimental group showed marked improvement.<p />",
