Abstract:	A narrative literature review was undertaken to consider the outcome measures used in research on cognitive stimulation therapy (CST), cognitive training (CT), and cognitive stimulation (CS) interventions. This review extends findings from previous reviews by including a broad range of study methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative, and explored whether participant experiences of taking part in the research are discussed. A database search identified 1,261 articles matching the search criteria, with 29 included in this review. Studies tended to use the manualised CST model, with 11 other models identified. Randomised control trials were chosen as the most used method to explore impact. Across the studies, 65 different outcome measures were used with people with dementia, and only four studies used a qualitative approach. Little information is provided on the assessment process in terms of time taken, assessor, or of the experience of the person with dementia. There is heterogeneity of measures used, within and across domains, and number, and agreement or consistency of measures would provide greater comparability across CS studies. Gaps in reporting were noted on the detail of the assessment process and the experience of people with dementia taking part in this research.
