These findings demonstrate the strength of the perceptual discrimination training approach by offering clear psychophysical evidence of transfer-of-benefit and a neural mechanism underlying cognitive improvement.
Changes in perception, attention and WM performance on untrained tests were assessed for both groups to evaluate transfer-of-benefit, and simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) recordings were utilized to assess neural mechanisms of training-induced performance changes.
Here, we offer the first evidence of direct transfer-of-benefits from perceptual discrimination training to working memory performance in older adults.
Fuel treatment in the interface zone allows for a direct transfer of benefits from the fuel treatment.
Meanwhile Nicola Sturgeon was answering questions on the topic at Holyrood - fine, she said, as far as it went but with serious problems over the transfer of benefits.
Effectively, it's a transfer of benefits from the poor to the rich.
In such countries, one would expect that there is a significant difference in net contributions across age groups due to an institutionalised transfer of benefits across age groups.
In addition to the selection of general cognitive, functional, physical, mood symptoms and quality of life outcome measures will also be assessed to identify the extent of transfer of benefits of our interventions.
The use of neuropsychological tests to measure cognitive outcomes effectively means that what is actually being assessed is transfer of benefits from trained to untrained tasks, rather than the effects of training on trained tasks.
This is regrettable as mapping the experiences of staff to development or organisational competencies has the potential to provide support for the continuation of partnership working, whilst facilitating the transfer of benefits within the wider developed countries healthcare system [ 11– 13].
