The importance of prevention of dementia is a crucial issue in this aging society. We propose co-imagination method for prevention of dementia. Co-imagination method aims to activate three cognitive functions: episode memory, segmentation of attention, and planning function, which decline at early stage of dementia. Participants of the co-imagination program bring images which represent episode memory and communicate with them. They take memory test for evaluation of the method whether they remember the images after the series of sessions. We held co-imagination program successfully at the welfare institution for elderly people in Kashiwa city. Each session was held one hour per week for five times. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through the experiment.
