Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.3K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

1.1K
Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Multi-domain cognitive training improved attentional control in older adults more than single-domain training. This approach may help compensate for age-related declines in executive functions, enhancing daily task management.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Gerontology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Multi-domain training may enhance cognitive transfer by increasing overlap with everyday tasks.
  • Older adults often experience declines in executive functions, impacting daily life.
  • Previous research has not systematically compared multi-domain training with single-domain conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of multi-domain cognitive training compared to single-domain training in healthy older adults.
  • To assess near and far transfer effects of cognitive training on executive functions.
  • To determine if cognitive training benefits individuals with lower baseline performance.

Main Methods:

  • 84 healthy older adults (64-75 years) were randomized into multi-domain or single-domain (inhibition, visuomotor, spatial navigation) training groups.
  • Participants completed 50 iPad-based training sessions at home.
  • Cognitive functioning and transfer were assessed pre-training, post-training, and at 6-month follow-up using neuropsychological tests.

Main Results:

  • All groups showed improved training performance.
  • The multi-domain training group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in attentional control (far transfer) compared to single-domain groups.
  • Training gains were stable at the 6-month follow-up.
  • Individuals with lower initial cognitive performance showed greater training-induced improvements.

Conclusions:

  • Multi-domain cognitive training is a promising approach for enhancing executive functions, specifically attentional control, in older adults.
  • This training may help older adults manage complex daily tasks requiring simultaneous attention.
  • Cognitive training can compensate for age-related cognitive declines.
