The Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) study examined the long-term effects of cognitive training on everyday functioning in older adults. It was a 5-year randomized controlled trial with 2832 older adult participants assigned to memory, reasoning, speed of processing training or a control group. The reasoning training group reported significantly less difficulty with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) compared to the control group. Speed of processing and memory training did not have significant effects on IADLs. Booster training improved performance on a functional measure of speed of processing for the speed of processing group only. All training groups maintained improvements in the targeted cognitive ability through 5 years.
This document summarizes a presentation on cognitive remediation for schizophrenia. Cognitive remediation aims to improve cognitive processes like attention, memory, and executive function through behavioral training interventions. It relies on neuroplasticity to strengthen connections in the brain. Exercises target basic sensory skills, discrete cognitive abilities, and more complex skills. Studies find cognitive remediation improves cognition, functioning, and motivation, especially when treatment is more intensive, motivational factors are incorporated, and exercises are personalized. Typical programs involve cognitive assessment, goal setting, group sessions 2+ times per week for 3-4 months using drill and strategy practice, and bridging to real-world skills.
Launching of cognitive training in ain shams universityHeba Tawfik
Cognitive training in Ain-Shams University has been developing since 2019, beginning with workshops and collaboration with other universities. The cognitive training lab was established to provide cognitive exercises for patients, supervised by Dr. Heba Tawfik. Studies show that cognitive training can improve functions like memory, attention, and processing speed for healthy older adults as well as those with mild cognitive impairment. Larger trials like ACTIVE found benefits that persisted for over 10 years with reasoning and processing speed training. Cognitive training is thought to promote neuroplasticity and compensatory brain changes.
This document summarizes a study that investigated how numeric ability affects older adults' performance in choosing a favorable Medicare prescription drug plan. The study found that while older adults performed worse on numeracy and cognitive tests compared to younger adults, they performed just as well or better than younger adults at choosing a drug plan when fewer options were provided. Limiting the number of plan options may help reduce the cognitive load for older adults and allow them to make optimal choices. The results suggest that despite age-related cognitive declines, older adults can still successfully complete decision-making tasks through unknown compensatory mechanisms.
This document summarizes research on cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) for various mental health conditions. It discusses CRT approaches for schizophrenia, including evidence that CRT improves cognitive functioning and psychosocial outcomes. It also explores using CRT for other disorders like bipolar disorder, depression, Alzheimer's, and ADHD. For many conditions, initial studies show benefits of CRT for cognition, symptoms, and functioning, though more research is still needed.
#Gamification of Older Adults’ Physical Activity: An Experimental Study (HICS...Dennis Kappen
Designing fitness programs to combat a sedentary lifestyle and foster older adults’ motivation and goal-setting is not yet well-understood beyond point-based systems. To improve older adults’ (over 50 years) health and wellness, we studied a gamified physical activity intervention over eight weeks in an experiment (N=30) with three conditions (gamified, non-gamified, control). Our qualitative analysis showed the gamified group exhibited more engagement and interest in performing physical activity facilitated by technology. Results from our quantitative analysis indicated significance in the perceived competence dimension compared to the non-gamified and the control group. Perceived autonomy was significant for the non-gamified group against the control group. The findings from the quali-tative and quantitative analysis show motivation, enjoyment, and engagement were higher in the gamified group. This provides support for successfully facilitating older adults’ physical activity through gamified technology, which helped us create guidelines for older adults’ adaptive engagement.
PhD Thesis - Adaptive Engagement of older adults' fitness through gamificationDennis Kappen
This document summarizes Dennis Kappen's PhD thesis on using gamification to motivate physical activity in older adults. The research included several phases: interviews and focus groups to understand older adult motivations; a survey study comparing exercise motivations across age groups; design and testing of a gamified physical activity app called Spirit50; and an experimental study comparing the app to a non-gamified version. Key contributions included a framework for exercise motivation technology, guidelines for adaptive gamification engagement of older adults, and a model for analyzing gamification design from player and designer perspectives. The research found gamification improved intrinsic motivation and perceptions of competence, autonomy, and relatedness for exercise in older adults compared to non-gamified approaches.

Cognitive rehabilitation aims to help recover mental functions impaired by brain injury through restoration, substitution, and restructuring approaches. Computerized cognitive rehabilitation (CACR) uses computer programs and exercises to retrain impaired cognitive skills. It provides personalized feedback and reinforcement through tasks of increasing difficulty. Research shows CACR improves attention, memory, and executive functions in patients with brain injuries, learning disabilities, schizophrenia, substance abuse disorders, depression, and multiple sclerosis compared to control groups. CACR appears as effective as traditional face-to-face rehabilitation with similar costs. Issues include variability in brain injury characteristics and rehabilitation programs across studies.

The document describes a study that tested whether performance on the Memory for Intentions Screening Test (MIST) could accurately predict conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) within one year. Thirty participants without dementia were given neuropsychological tests including the MIST and re-tested one year later. Logistic regression found that only MIST performance significantly predicted conversion to AD, with 83% prediction success. A MIST cutoff score of 18 had 86% accuracy in distinguishing those who did and did not develop dementia within a year.
CBT skills usage after receiving internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) was assessed to understand its role in maintaining treatment effects. 77 participants completed measures of depression, anxiety and functioning before, immediately after, and 3 months after iCBT. Symptoms significantly improved post-treatment and were maintained at follow-up. At follow-up, participants reported frequently using cognitive and behavioral CBT skills. While CBT skills usage predicted immediate outcomes, it did not predict maintenance of effects at 3-month follow-up, suggesting other factors may be involved in long-term outcomes.
This study examined the relationship between trait anxiety and self-controlled feedback in learning the overhead volleyball serve. 48 adolescent girls were grouped into high or low trait anxiety and received either self-controlled or yoked feedback during practice. Those with high trait anxiety requested more feedback than low trait anxiety girls. Feedback was also requested more after accurate trials. While no differences were found between groups in acquisition or transfer, those with high anxiety used self-controlled feedback more than low anxiety girls.

The document compares functional outcomes between pediatric and adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who underwent inpatient rehabilitation. It finds:
1) Increasing age was associated with improved outcomes in children but poorer outcomes in adults, as measured by Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores.
2) Several factors like gender, Glasgow Coma Scale scores, and presence of midline shift differed between pediatric and adult groups and impacted functional outcomes.
3) The relationship between age and functional outcome after TBI differs between pediatric and adult populations, with moderating variables also having different effects between the two age groups.
Interventions to Improve Cognitive Functioning After TBILoki Stormbringer
This document discusses interventions to improve cognitive functioning after traumatic brain injury (TBI). It begins by introducing a case study of a veteran experiencing cognitive issues after multiple blast exposures during deployment. It then provides an overview of TBI, noting that while injuries are acute, cognitive deficits can persist chronically and impact individuals, families, and society. It discusses the importance of recognizing and treating chronic cognitive dysfunction, and how a combination of physical and psychological trauma from combat experiences could result in a complex "combined combat neurotrauma syndrome." The document advocates considering multiple levels of brain functioning and integrating behavioral and pharmacological therapies to effectively improve post-TBI cognitive functioning.
This document summarizes research investigating potential differences in inhibitory control between overweight children and normal-weight controls using electrophysiological measures. The study used a stop-signal reaction time task to measure inhibitory control and analyzed event-related potentials (ERPs), specifically the N2 and P3 components. Behavioral results found no significant differences in stop-signal reaction times between groups. ERP results found no significant group differences in the amplitude of the N2 or P3 components. However, the P3 component occurred earlier for successful stop trials compared to unsuccessful stop trials overall. The study had limitations due to small sample sizes and discusses avenues for future research.
This document discusses cognitive rehabilitation therapy (CRT). It began in the 1920s to help veterans with brain injuries relearn cognitive skills. CRT aims to restore lost cognitive functions or teach compensatory strategies. An interdisciplinary team may provide CRT to help those with conditions like stroke, dementia, TBI regain independence. Occupational therapists play a key role in CRT by helping clients relearn skills through functional activities to improve daily living. Strong evidence shows CRT's effectiveness, especially when provided through interdisciplinary collaboration.

This research article examines whether a questionnaire measure of executive function (EF) can predict treatment outcomes for anxiety and depression following cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 206 outpatients with major depression or an anxiety disorder completed the Revised Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX-R) to assess EF before undergoing group CBT. The DEX-R measures EF across factors of inhibition, volition, and social regulation. Higher DEX-R scores indicate greater executive dysfunction. Results showed that executive dysfunction predicted concurrent anxiety and depression symptoms after controlling for comorbidity. Specifically, inhibition predicted anxiety and volition predicted depression. Executive dysfunction also predicted post-treatment anxiety symptoms but not depression following CBT. The study concludes that EF deficits are associated
The study compared the effectiveness of two novel balance training programs (Functional Movement-Power Training and Functional Movement Training) to no training in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder. 161 children were randomly assigned to one of the three groups and underwent their respective interventions twice a week for 3 months. Outcome measures of balance strategies and neuromuscular performance were taken before and after the intervention period using computerized dynamic posturography and manual muscle testing. The results showed that both novel training programs improved balance and strength to a greater extent than no training.
Psychological depression prevention programs for 5-10 year olds: What’s the e...Health Evidence™
This webinar reviewed evidence on organizational interventions for preventing workplace stress. It found that participatory interventions where employees have input into addressing stressors can significantly reduce stress, burnout, and absenteeism. Training and education interventions combined with role playing can also moderately reduce stress in the short term. Ensuring employees have control over their work and providing flexible working hours improved psychological wellbeing. However, the evidence was mixed on the effectiveness of other interventions like job redesign. Overall, more rigorous research is still needed to determine the most effective workplace stress prevention strategies.
This document summarizes a workshop on apraxia held on September 10th, 2010. It defines apraxia as an inability to perform motor acts despite intact motor abilities. Approximately 1/3 of rehabilitation and nursing home patients experience apraxia. Occupational therapists treat apraxia through hierarchical cueing, errorless learning, context-based activities, and compensatory strategies training. However, evidence for apraxia interventions is limited and effects do not persist long-term. A multidisciplinary team approach individualizing interventions is recommended.

Neurodevelopmental Treatment and Cerebral Palseyda5884
This document summarizes a PICO question about the effectiveness of neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) in improving gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy compared to alternative or no therapy. NDT targets the neuromuscular and central nervous systems to improve postural control and movement patterns. The document reviews 3 articles that provide evidence that NDT is not more effective than alternative therapies in improving gross motor skills, though results may vary based on treatment techniques and protocols. Implications for practice include critically evaluating why NDT is used and identifying which aspects are most helpful through future research.
Artigo esquizofrenia a meta analysis of cognitive remediation in schizophreniaJeane Araujo
This study conducted a meta-analysis of 26 randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of cognitive remediation on cognitive performance, symptoms, and psychosocial functioning in people with schizophrenia. The meta-analysis found that cognitive remediation had a medium effect on improving cognitive performance, a small effect on reducing symptoms, and a slightly lower but still medium effect on improving psychosocial functioning. Cognitive remediation programs that provided additional psychiatric rehabilitation showed stronger effects on improving psychosocial functioning compared to programs only involving cognitive remediation.

Effects of Internet Based Training on Cognition in Older Adults
Specific Aims
The idea that maintaining high levels of cognitive activity protects the brain from neurodegeneration is not new, and much evidence has accumulated that people with high levels of cognitive ability and activity tend to maintain cognitive function well as they age (Hertzog et al. 2009). Beyond the idea of maintaining cognitive function in healthy aging, studies such as Verghese et al. (2003) found that higher levels of cognitive activity were associated with lower rates of dementia in a 21- year longitudinal study. While much of the data indicating higher levels of cognitive activity leads to better long-term function is necessarily correlational, a number of studies have begun to systematically assess the effect of cognitive interventions on cognitive function. The largest of these, the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE; Jobe et al. 2001) has found long lasting effects (5 years; Willis et al. 2006) of relatively short cognitive training activities (10 hours).
The specific aim of this proposal is to assess the effectiveness of A Fictitious Brain Training Program on research participants followed longitudinally who may be experiencing the very earliest signs of cognitive decline. Recent research tracking the trajectory of age related cognitive decline (e.g., Mungas et al. 2010) has suggested that it may be possible to identify cognitively healthy individuals at risk for significant imminent cognitive decline by examining baseline cognitive assessments or recent change, even though test scores do not reach the abnormal range.
Background
Techniques for maintaining and enhancing cognitive function in an increasingly aging population are of great potential benefit to those who might suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and also to society as a whole. Higher cognitive function leads to better maintenance of activities of daily life, less need for chronic care, and direct improvements in quality of life. Research examining effective methods for cognitive enhancement is becoming increasingly prevalent and has led to a number of recent review studies, e.g., Hertzog et al. (2009), Lustig et al. (2009), Green & Bavalier (2008). These studies review evidence from both longitudinal studies of increased levels of mental activity on maintenance of cognitive function and intervention studies aimed at directly improving cognition with targeted cognitive training. For these cognitive interventions to provide widespread benefit, it is critical ...

This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
The study investigated whether improvements in muscle strength and aerobic capacity (VO2peak) from progressive resistance training (PRT) mediated improvements in cognitive function for older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The results showed that PRT significantly improved upper body, lower body, and whole body strength more than a sham exercise control. Higher strength scores after PRT, but not changes in VO2peak, were significantly associated with improvements in cognition. Greater lower body strength gains partially mediated the effect of PRT on improving global cognition, but not executive function.
This document summarizes a meta-analytic review of primary prevention mental health programs for children and adolescents. It describes the methods used, including criteria for including studies and coding variables. Key findings included that the average age of participants was 9.3 years, follow-up periods averaged 47 weeks, and effect sizes tended to be positive. To achieve homogeneity, studies were divided based on characteristics like intervention type (person-centered vs environment-centered), selection strategy, and program focus. Environment-centered programs targeting school settings showed significant positive effects.

Recent research tracking the trajectory of age related cognitive decline (e.g., Mungas et al. 2010) has suggested that it may be possible to identify cognitively healthy individuals at risk for significant imminent cognitive decline by examining baseline cognitive assessments or recent change, even though test scores do not reach the abnormal range.
Background
Techniques for maintaining and enhancing cognitive function in an increasingly aging population are of great potential benefit to those who might suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and also to society as a whole. Higher cognitive function leads to better maintenance of activities of daily life, less need for chronic care, and direct improvements in quality of life. Research examining effective methods for cognitive enhancement is becoming increasingly prevalent and has led to a number of recent review studies, e.g., Hertzog et al. (2009), Lustig et al. (2009), Green & Bavalier (2008). These studies review evidence from both longitudinal studies of increased levels of mental activity on maintenance of cognitive function and intervention studies aimed at directly improving cognition with targeted cognitive training. For these cognitive interventions to provide widespread benefit, it is critical ...

This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
The study investigated whether improvements in muscle strength and aerobic capacity (VO2peak) from progressive resistance training (PRT) mediated improvements in cognitive function for older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The results showed that PRT significantly improved upper body, lower body, and whole body strength more than a sham exercise control. Higher strength scores after PRT, but not changes in VO2peak, were significantly associated with improvements in cognition. Greater lower body strength gains partially mediated the effect of PRT on improving global cognition, but not executive function.
This document summarizes a meta-analytic review of primary prevention mental health programs for children and adolescents. It describes the methods used, including criteria for including studies and coding variables. Key findings included that the average age of participants was 9.3 years, follow-up periods averaged 47 weeks, and effect sizes tended to be positive. To achieve homogeneity, studies were divided based on characteristics like intervention type (person-centered vs environment-centered), selection strategy, and program focus. Environment-centered programs targeting school settings showed significant positive effects.
This research proposal aims to examine the usability and preliminary efficacy of the Virtual Week Training 2014 (VWT14) program for improving prospective memory in healthy older adults. The study will use a pre-post-test waitlist control design with intervention and comparison groups.

This document summarizes a study that used longitudinal analysis to identify predictors of outcomes for children with autism undergoing intensive behavioral intervention (IBI). Twenty-four children received on average two years of IBI and were assessed every six months using standardized tests. Multilevel modeling found that total intervention time, pre-intervention functioning, and age best predicted improvement in language, daily living skills, cognitive, and motor abilities over time. The results suggest that longitudinal analysis is a promising method for identifying reliable predictors of IBI outcomes.
This systematic review evaluated the efficacy of electronic activity monitor systems (EAMS) interventions for increasing physical activity and decreasing weight. The review included 11 studies and 1272 total participants. Most studies found significant increases in physical activity or decreases in weight with EAMS interventions compared to control groups. However, the review was limited by heterogeneity between studies that prevented a meta-analysis. It concluded by calling for future research on EAMS interventions to be more rigorous by using stronger study designs, explicit theoretical frameworks, objective physical activity measures, and more diverse populations in order to better evaluate the effectiveness of these systems.
The Cochrane Library: Web 2.0 & phisical activity Giuseppe Fattori
This review analyzed 11 studies involving over 5,800 adults to evaluate the effectiveness of remote and web-based interventions for promoting physical activity. The results showed that technology-supported programs can help adults become more active, achieve recommended weekly activity levels, and increase fitness. Improvements were seen when interventions provided personalized support and feedback from professionals via phone, email, or written information. Gains in activity level and fitness were maintained for up to two years with no increase in injury risk. However, more research is still needed to determine the most effective long-term methods for specific groups.

Effects physical exercises and minor games on speed in mild mentally challeng...Sports Journal
This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of physical exercises and minor games on speed in mildly mentally challenged children. 45 children participated in the study and were divided into 3 groups: a physical exercise group, minor games group, and control group. The physical exercise and minor games groups underwent training for 18 weeks, while the control group did not receive training. Speed was measured before and after the training using a 50m dash test. Results of the ANCOVA and post-hoc tests showed that there was no significant difference in speed between the control group and physical exercise group after training. However, the minor games group showed a significant improvement in speed compared to the physical exercise and control groups after training. The study concluded that minor
This document discusses strategies and technologies for recovering cognitive functions lost due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). It notes that TBI survivors can experience decades of debilitation from attention deficits, memory impairments, and executive dysfunction. While severity of injury correlates somewhat to impairment, the link is weak. Even one year post-injury, many TBI patients still have unmet cognitive needs. The document advocates strategies that both compensate for losses and recover functions, using knowledge, technology, systems, processes, retraining, stem cells, and pharmacological and learning enhancements. Computerized cognitive training alone is not a complete solution but can provide effective tools when used by clinicians. Challenges include ensuring training gains transfer to real life and addressing
This document summarizes a systematic review that assessed the effectiveness of aerobic exercise in improving cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The review included 13 studies that investigated the effects of aerobic exercise, aerobic exercise with flexibility/balance training, and walking programs. Most studies found that moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise performed 3 times per week for 12-16 weeks improved scores on the Mini Mental State Exam, indicating improved cognitive function. Moving forward, more research is needed on the optimal intensity of aerobic exercise and use of technologies like sensors in smart homes to monitor patients and progression of dementia.
This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a home-based exercise and caregiver behavioral management program on 153 patients with Alzheimer's disease. The intervention group received training over 12 hours in the first 3 months. Results found the intervention reduced functional dependence and depression at 3 months, with only SF-36 differences maintained at 24 months. However, the program did not delay institutionalization. The study suggests home-based programs may improve physical and mental health in the short-term but repeated training may be needed to sustain effects. Limitations included potential information bias and an outdated diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's.
Journal Club Presentation - AKL03 Depression.pptxSaran A K
This journal club presentation summarized a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of a digital therapeutic called AKL-T03 on cognitive impairment in adults with major depressive disorder. The study found that AKL-T03 significantly improved performance on a test of sustained attention compared to an active control. A post-hoc analysis also found a significant difference in composite cognitive scores favoring AKL-T03. Both interventions were well-tolerated with few adverse events reported. The study provides preliminary evidence that AKL-T03 may help reduce cognitive impairment associated with depression.
- A study tested whether children with learning disabilities who received an intervention program to enhance sensory integration would show greater academic gains than children who received only classroom instruction.
- The intervention program provided 25-40 minutes per day of activities to stimulate the vestibular and somatosensory systems based on each child's specific sensory issues.
- Children with generalized sensory problems or isolated auditory-language problems who received the intervention showed significantly greater gains on reading and language tests than control children receiving only classroom instruction. The intervention program was effective for improving academic skills.
Cognitive Benefits of Exercise for Children and TeensMark Dreher PhD
The brain evolves during our childhood years as it continues to develop and is affected by lifestyle habits such as physical activity, cognitive activity, nutrition and sleep.
Although there is growing scientific evidence that exercise is associated with improved cognitive function, academic performance, and overall health in children, the limited amount of time generally dedicated to physical activity during the school day continues to decline in many schools.
The activity requirements for healthy brain and cognitive function are really relatively modest. For children, moderate aerobic activity of about 60 minutes a day can make a big difference, especially in children that are currently low-performers. There is work to be done in the United States and other countries to meet these activity goals as only about 30% of high school students achieve them.
This presentation provides a current summary of the human research on aerobic exercise and cognitive function in children and teens.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
