Staying sharp a decade after cognitive training

Rebok and colleagues published a longitudinal study in 2014 based on data from approximately 2,800 seniors participants. The participants who trained in targeted computerized cognitive training to improve processing speed showed improvements that lasted a whole decade. Reebok et al. found that Even after 10 years, adults who trained their processing speed practiced speed exercises and maintained a higher level in daily tasks.

Computerized cognitive training does not require technological literacy

Kueider's 2012 systematic review examined the effectiveness of computerized cognitive training in healthy adults. A review article included 38 studies divided into three categories based on the type of training: traditional cognitive practice with paper and pencil, computeriezd cognitive training , and video games. It has been found that computerized cognitive training is just as effective as traditional practice with pencil and paper, as well as being a more intensive and effective form of training. In addition, most studies reported that adults did not have to be technologically savvy to perform the exercises successfully and benefit from them.

Interested in brain health? Challenge your mind and move your body

According to a review article by Bemidis et al (2014), maintaining a healthy brain is crucial for quality of life and independence in old age. It has been shown that cognitive training and physical exercise can prevent cognitive decline and age-related diseases. The article summarizes the latest findings regarding brain mechanisms associated with third-age cognitive changes and stresses the importance of training that includes cognitive and physical exercises to ensure optimal functioning of brain networks throughout life.
