Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

2.1K
Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
This field emerged in the mid-20th century, following a period dominated by behaviorism, which...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

512
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.

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

745
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,...

Summary

Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is effective for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Both basic and individualized CCT programs were user-friendly, with higher satisfaction linked to more frequent use and perceived quality.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Computerized cognitive training (CCT) shows efficacy for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
  • User-friendliness and ease of use are critical for CCT adoption in the MCI population.
  • A growing number of individuals are diagnosed with MCI, necessitating accessible non-pharmacological interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the user experience of two distinct CCT programs designed for individuals with MCI.
  • To compare user satisfaction between an individualized CCT (iCCT) and a basic CCT (bCCT).
  • To explore correlations between training intensity, user satisfaction, and demographic factors (age, gender).

Main Methods:

  • Secondary data analysis from the BrainFit-Nutrition randomized controlled study (N=270).
  • User experience evaluated using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) in 217 participants (nUX-iCCT=109; nUX-bCCT=108).
  • Analysis included benchmark comparisons, inter-program differences, correlation analysis, and demographic variations.

Main Results:

  • Both CCT programs achieved above-average benchmark scores across most UEQ scales.
  • No significant differences in user satisfaction were found between iCCT and bCCT, except for higher 'Perspicuity' in bCCT.
  • Training intensity positively correlated with 'Attractiveness' and hedonic quality (Stimulation, Novelty) for both programs.

Conclusions:

  • Both iCCT and bCCT are user-friendly interventions for individuals aged 60+ with MCI.
  • Increased usage frequency correlated with higher satisfaction regarding the hedonic quality of the CCT programs.
  • These findings support the development and implementation of accessible, non-pharmacological interventions for the growing MCI population.
