Rehabilitative efforts focused on improving executive function have been increasing in the last 10 years, partly as a result of advances in computerized training, particularly "adaptive-training" programs (Klingberg 2010).
Students take readily to the computerized training.
"We didn't have any evidence that computerized training had any preventive effects on dementia.
But the brain training group showed marked differences, with researchers finding that the group who received the computerized training had a 29percentt lower incidence of dementia.
Twenty children received computerized training, including 8 children diagnosed with SLI and 12 children with typically developing language.
In the present study, we developed a novel task-based neurofeedback training paradigm that benefits from the effects of neurofeedback in parallel with computerized training.
Diverse activities have been shown to improve children's executive functions: computerized training, noncomputerized games, aerobics, martial arts, yoga, mindfulness, and school curricula.
We administered 80 hr of computerized training of cognitive processes to schizophrenia patients and found improvement in reality monitoring that correlated with increased mPFC activity.
In response to clinicians' feedback, a computerized training program that provides information for listeners supporting people with schizophrenia was developed, and one hundred and sixty eight listeners completed an online knowledge test.
The ones that provide computerized training, such as the working memory training from Cogmed Systems, appear to improve performance in the specifically trained ability but provide no generalization or transfer of training to other abilities or activities (Thorell, Lindqvist, Nutley, Bohlin, & Klingberg, 2009).
