Examples of new approaches include cognitive remediation, a treatment designed to stimulate cognitive functioning through specific exercises, and metacognitive remediation, a treatment designed to develop individuals' capacity to reflect on their own cognitive processes.
And because music is processed in both hemispheres of the brain, it can stimulate cognitive functioning and may be used for remediation of some speech/language skills.
The reason is that the majority of activities which stimulate cognitive functions are included in the practice of picture book reading.
Talassi et al. [ 65] used a computerized cognitive program [ 72, 73], to stimulate cognitive functions, e.g. visual search, episodic memory or semantic verbal fluency, by a specific group of exercise for older adults with mild cognitive impairments or mild dementia.
This proposed form of activity has the advantage of not requiring great physical exertion, not involving a wide range of abilities, and predominantly involving relaxation exercises that also stimulate cognitive functions.
Moreover, coordination exercise stimulates cognitive function, thereby inducing positive adaptations of cerebral function when regularly practiced.
It also shows that the ENRIC platform stimulates cognitive functions and was well received by patients.
For total alternation, it is reasonable to hypothesize that similar to CR treatment, RSV supplementation stimulates cognitive functions involved in this continuous spontaneous alternation task.
Since HRV decreases when attentional [22, 23] and executive functions [24, 25] are stimulated, these results indicate that the intervention stimulated these cognitive functions in our critically ill patients, including those with low alertness levels.
The selective choice of the cognitive training in combination with the choice of the cortical region to be stimulated may determine which cognitive function and which neural circuit will be affected.
