Abstract	Dementia is a progressive neurocognitive disorder that results in a steady loss of memory, reasoning ability, and functional independence. Dementia’s early stages provide a vital opportunity for interventions that can stabilize cognitive functions, and slow the rate of deterioration. This qualitative descriptive study, “Enhancing Cognitive Functioning in Early-Stage Dementia Through Neurobics: A Clinical Intervention Study,” investigates the use of neurobic exercises: designed and structured multisensory activities that aim to activate neuroplasticity and build cognitive reserve. This study uses secondary data from various clinical studies, qualitative sources, and theoretical frameworks published between 2000 and 2025, to, synthesize elements of various research focusing on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of neural response to interventions using neurobics. It is found that neurobics facilitate improvement of memory, attention, and executive functions by stimulating channeling of diverse neural circuits through the use of novel and non-routine tasks. The participants described in the studies under review showed improvements in their affect, motivation, and social interaction, emphasizing the emotional rewards of engaging in neurobic exercises. Neurobics can be performed at any of time through a variety of daily activities, a characteristic that supplements the effectiveness of the exercises and promotes their sustained use. Although the results are promising, the literature is limited in scope and depth, through small sample sizes, non-uniform frameworks, and brief measures, suggesting the need for longitudinal and mixed-method studies. This study concludes that neurobics substantiate the efficacy of non-pharmacological approaches aimed at augmenting cognitive abilities in the early stages of dementia. With the ability to promote neuroplasticity and cognitive resilience, neurobics delay cognitive decline, improve quality of life, and therefore, can be easily integrated into dementia framework and clinical rehabilitation practices.
