Consumer decision making and aging: Current knowledge and future directions (2009, background): “Colcombe and Kramer (2003) conducted a meta-analysis of 18 cross-sectional and longitudinal studies and found that aerobic fitness improves cognitive function in older adults.”
The Influence of Exercise on Cognitive Abilities (2013, positive): “Results showed that exercise training increased cognitive performance by half a standard deviation (which is considered to be a moderate effect) when compared to the pretest and the control group (30).”
Using Socially Assistive Human–Robot Interaction to Motivate Physical Exercise for Older Adults (2012, background): “The first study investigated the role of praise and relational discourse in the exercise system by comparing a relational robot coach to a nonrelational robot coach.”
Effects of an Acute Bout of Exercise on Cognitive Aspects of Stroop Performance (2006, background): “Several reviews of the literature have established that a positive relationship exists between exercise and cognitive performance (Brisswalter et al., 2002; Colcombe & Kramer, 2003; Etnier et al., 1997; Sibley & Etnier, 2003; Tomporowski, 2003a, 2003b).”
The effects of acute exercise on cognitive performance: a meta-analysis. (2012, background): “…testing the transient hypofrontality hypothesis (Dietrich, 2006) and past meta-analytic evidence suggesting that cognitive task type moderates the effects of both acute and chronic exercise (Angevaren, et al., 2008; Colcombe and Kramer, 2003; Etnier, et al., 1997; Lambourne and Tomporowski, 2010).”
