Computer-Based Cognitive Training for Mild Cognitive Impairment: Results from a Pilot Randomized, Controlled Trial (2009, background): “The largest mental activity RCT conducted to date included only healthy elders and found that training in memory, speed of processing or reasoning was associated with domain-specific improvements in cognition that were maintained for up to 5 years.(6,7) More recently, several small cognitive trainin”
Enrichment Effects on Adult Cognitive Development (2008, background): “gram, the beneficial effects on cognitive performance tend to be relatively narrow in scope, usually localized to the specific cognitive test that was trained (e.g., Ball et al., 2002; Willis et al., 2006; but see Tranter & Koutstaal, 2008).”
Exercising Your Brain: A Review of Human Brain Plasticity and Training-Induced Learning (2008, positive): “These regimens have shown clear improvements in abilities specific to those trained as well as maintenance of those gains from 3 months (Mahncke, Connor, et al., 2006) to 5 years (Willis et al., 2006).”
Can training in a real-time strategy video game attenuate cognitive decline in older adults? (2008, background): “Recently, the ACTIVE study group (Willis et al., 2006) found that training in reasoning transfers to self-reported instrumental activities of daily living.”
Computerized Cognitive Training with Older Adults: A Systematic Review (2012, background): “Ample evidence now suggests cognitive training interventions can improve cognitive performance in healthy older adults [3–6] and that these gains are robust up to five years after training [7].”
Aging, training, and the brain: A review and future directions (2009, positive): “), and a later study that used this speed of processing and attentional breadth training actually found transfer to driving performance (Willis et al. 2006).”
Ten-Year Effects of the ACTIVE Cognitive Training Trial on Cognition and Everyday Functioning in Older Adults (2014, background): “Given the time lag in the relationship between cognitive change and appearance of functional deficits, it was expected that the full extent of the intervention effects on daily function would take longer than 5 years to be evident in this well-functioning study population.(5) Two hypotheses are deri”
Alzheimer’s disease prevention: from risk factors to early intervention (2017, background): “Two years later, the intervention showed modest benefits for cognitive training in cognitive performance, which were maintained at the 5-year follow-up [40], and slight benefits in self-reported function in daily living activities [41].”
