摘要: Objectives We examined whether a home-based, adaptive cognitive training (CT) program would lead to performance changes on neuropsychological test battery in cognitively normal older adults. Method Sixty-eight adults (age = 70.0, SD 3.74) were randomly assigned either CT or an active control group (AC, casual computer games). Participants instructed train their programs for 42 min per day, 5 days week, over 10 weeks (35 hr of total usage). completed tests processing speed, working memory, and executive before after training. Results Training groups did not differ After training, participants out-performed AC the overall composite score, driven by speed memory domains. Discussion Our results show that limited dose home-based can drive improvements as measured with battery, suggesting potential health maintenance implications
