The effects of computer-based cognitive training on attention and working memory in Thai older adults with mild cognitive impairment
Napat Chumpurat, Peeraya Munkhetvit, Nahathai Wongpakaran, Phuanjai Rattakorn. Journal of Associated Medical Sciences, 2025-04-12
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
The results showed that the experimental group had a statistically significant difference of attention (TMT-B) and working memory scores, while the control group had no statistically significant difference for both attention and working memory. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the groups in attention (TMT-B) and working memory. From the results, it can be stated that the computer-based training program (Neofect Cognition) might improve attention and working memory in Thai older adults with MCI.
Key findings
- The results showed that the experimental group had a statistically significant difference of attention (TMT-B) and working memory scores, while the control group had no statistically significant difference for both attention and working memory.
- Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the groups in attention (TMT-B) and working memory.
- From the results, it can be stated that the computer-based training program (Neofect Cognition) might improve attention and working memory in Thai older adults with MCI.
Why it matters
This study found that a computer-based cognitive training program improved attention and working memory in Thai older adults with mild cognitive impairment compared with a control group. It suggests possible benefit for these cognitive domains, but it does not show that the training treats, cures or prevents Alzheimer's disease.
