Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

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

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

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.

Background:

Cognitive decline in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia necessitates early interventions.
Evidence-based cognitive training is crucial for managing cognitive decline in at-risk populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate Smart Brain, a comprehensive, evidence-based mobile application for cognitive training in individuals with MCI or dementia.
To create a user-centered application incorporating features identified through systematic review and user surveys.

Main Methods:

The ADDIE model guided the application's development, incorporating findings from a systematic literature review and a survey of 100 participants.
Usability testing was conducted with 7 experts and 11 elderly individuals diagnosed with MCI or dementia.

Main Results:

The Smart Brain application features distinct user and administrator interfaces.
Usability feedback led to refinements, such as adjusting time limits for cognitive games.
The final version integrates cognitive games, physical exercises, emotional support, and health management tools.

Conclusions:

Smart Brain demonstrates significant potential as a tool to improve cognitive health and quality of life for elderly individuals with MCI or dementia.
The application's usability and integrated features position it as a promising solution for community-based cognitive health interventions.
