In summary, I'd say that research has shown how brain and cognitive training can help healthy adults improve specific cognitive skills, and improvements seem to last longer than the training itself.
This leads to the conclusion that regardless their intellectual abilities, they could improve specific cognitive abilities involved in autism, which can reinforce the idea that cognitive flexibility is a core ability for the development of other important skills for interacting.
Given the promising results, future studies should evaluate the efficacy of this novel exercise modality in improving specific dimensions of cognitive function, and (using a longer follow-up time) examine the sustainability of its training effects.
While these programs have been successful in improving the specific cognitive function targeted by the training (i.e. memory programs improve memory performance) [ 39- 41], they do not have the potential to provide the physical and cognitive benefits offered by exercise training.
High-fidelity simulators in mock-ups resembling the ED involving multiple patients and multidisciplinary team have been shown to improve clinical abilities, specific cognitive strategies, and teamwork [14].
The impact of cognitive interventions on the BPSD is still not well known because most of studies have focused on improving global or specific cognitive functions [ 41].
This is likely to apply to CT that may aim to improve function in a specific cognitive domain such as executive function, language or episodic memory.
Training in specific cognitive skills can improve older adults' memory, processing speed, spatial orientation, reasoning, and executive function.
The understanding of the brain mechanisms involved in the production of specific cognitive impairments would be improved with structural and functional brain imagery studies.
Considering specific cognitive domains, language abilities were significantly improved after LSS-tele treatment (phonemic fluency: P=0.04; semantic fluency: P=0.03).
