Combined Aerobic and Cognitive Training Effects on Complex Brain Networks in Older Adults
… network metrics to participants' performance on cognitive and memory tasks. With past research implicating the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampus in changes associated with training programs in older adults, these were used as focal regions of interest. Of the original 73 participants, …

Cognitive Training Transfer Using A Personal Computer-based Game:a Close Quarters Battle Case Study
… This realism has caught the attention of the training community, which has traditionally sought system and operational replication in training systems such as flight simulators. Since games are designed and marketed for entertainment and not designed for training of tasks, questions exist …

Can high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) enhance cognitive training and transfer?
The INSIGHT project combines cognitive training with high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) with the goal of enhancing fluid intelligence (Gf) and adaptive problem solving in healthy adults. 129 young to middle-aged subjects completed 20 1hr cognitive training sessions …

Intrinsic functional brain connectivity in South African methamphetamine users undergoing inpatient treatment, with or without additional cognitive training
… of structure and function, with associated neurocognitive deficits, particularly executive function (EF). Working memory (WM) training has been identified as a potential adjunct to treatment of substance use disorder (SUD) to improve EF in the hope of reducing relapse rates. Neuroimaging suggests …

Cognitive training with casual video games: the effects of working memory and reasoning related games on the cognitive abilities of younger and older adults
Cognitive functioning can affect one’s performance at work, quality of life and the ability to live independently, hence there are theoretical and practical implications to understanding whether cognitive training is effective, and its effects across the adult lifespan and with individual …

The effects of perceptual and Piagetian training on the reading achievement of first grade pupils
… designed to investigate the effect of pairing cognitive training, developed from Piaget's theory, with perceptual training on reading achievement. Also investigated was the effect of cognitive and perceptual training by themselves, as well as that of a cont:col group on reading achievement. A …

Comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for preventing cognitive decline in older adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
As global populations age, preventing cognitive decline has become a major public health priority. Multiple non-pharmacologic strategies have been proposed to preserve cognitive function, yet their comparative effectiveness remains uncertain. This study conducted a systematic review and network …

Examining the role of reasoning and working memory in predicting casual game performance across extended gameplay
… an exciting opportunity for applications such as cognitive training. Casual games have been associated with fluid abilities such as working memory (WM) and reasoning, but the importance of these cognitive constructs in predicting performance may change across extended gameplay and vary with game …

Training And Transfer Of Attentional Control In Older Adulthood
Recent research in cognitive aging has brought renewed interest to a decades old question. Can cognitive skills be trained, and if so, how widely does that trained skill transfer? Previous research has demonstrated that older adults are able to improve their performance on laboratory cognitive …
