Can training in a real-time strategy video game attenuate cognitive decline in older adults? (2008, background): “Research on cognitive training (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly [ACTIVE]) in older adults by Ball and colleagues (Ball et al., 2002) has found that if specific cognitive skills are trained separately—such as memory, attention, and problem solving—trainees improve in the”
Improving Methodological Standards in Behavioral Interventions for Cognitive Enhancement (2019, background): “The past two decades have brought a great deal of attention to the possibility that certain core cognitive abilities, including those related to processing speed, working memory, perceptual abilities, attention, and general intelligence, can be improved by dedicated behavioral training (Au et al. 20”
Enrichment Effects on Adult Cognitive Development (2008, background): “, Ball et al., 2002). The exceptions point to interesting avenues for further research. Jennings et al. (2005) showed transfer of training in their memory-control task to other memory tasks in which the same control processes were relevant to performance.”
Aging, training, and the brain: A review and future directions (2009, positive): “A recent well-known intervention, the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) study, is one of the first large-scale randomized control trials comparing different approaches to training (Ball et al. 2002).”
Long-term effects of cognitive training on everyday functional outcomes in older adults. (2006, neutral): “outcomes in this study.(12,13) Memory training involved teaching mnemonic strategies (organization, visualization, association) for remembering verbal material (eg, word lists, texts).”
The effects of video game playing on attention, memory, and executive control. (2008, methodology): “For example, it should be noted that the reaction time, logic, and perceptual training offered by these ‘‘brain training” games bear a striking resemblance to the training tasks of the ACTIVE trial (Ball et al., 2002), which produced little meaningful immediate transfer to real-world tasks (in contr”
Exercising Your Brain: A Review of Human Brain Plasticity and Training-Induced Learning (2008, neutral): “However, training differences are typically specific to the ability trained, with those individuals trained in attention experiencing gains in attention but not in memory or reasoning and vice versa (see, for example, Allaire & Marsiske, 2005; Ball et al., 2002).”
