Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

21
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

84
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function.

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

125
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

311
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • The brain's lifelong plasticity offers potential for cognitive interventions.
  • Cognitive training (CT) is explored to delay dementia, but relationships between performance and training outcomes are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between initial performance and learning parameters during selective attention training in older adults.
  • To analyze the impact of age and baseline cognitive scores on learning curves and training efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Ten-day selective attention training using an adaptive algorithm in older adults.
  • Cognitive assessments (MMSE, MoCA) before and after training.
  • Analysis of learning curve parameters (learning amount, speed, asymptotic level).

Main Results:

  • Initial performance positively correlated with learning amount/asymptotic level, negatively with speed.
  • Age negatively correlated with learning speed but positively with other parameters.
  • Higher baseline MMSE/MoCA predicted better post-training scores but less improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Adaptive selective attention training is effective for cognitive intervention.
  • Older adults with lower baseline cognition may need varied training strategies.
  • Findings support the cognitive compensation hypothesis.
