  1. Various digital therapeutics (DTx), which utilize computerized cognitive training (CCT) to improve cognitive functioning, have been tested and released.

  2. Effects of Smartphone-Based Compensatory Cognitive Training and Physical Activity on Cognition, Depression, and Self-Esteem in Women with Subjective Cognitive Decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Brain sciences 2021-08-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Subjective cognitive decline is a symptom that may appear in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Cognitive training and neuroplasticity in mild cognitive impairment (COG-IT): protocol for a two-site, blinded, randomised, controlled treatment trial

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. BMJ open 2019-08-30 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We will test if CCT, versus CPT, leads to improved cognitive functioning, transfers to functional ability and tasks of everyday life and impacts hippocampal volume changes and changes in the default mode network of the brain measured by resting-state functional MRI.

  4. Examining the effects of computerised cognitive training on levels of executive function in adults with Down syndrome

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of intellectual disability research : JIDR 2019-05-06 Cognitive tests and assessment

    This study showed that, while it has not been previously an area of focus, individuals with DS can complete a computerised cognitive training programme.

  5. Computerized cognitive training during physical inactivity improves executive functioning in older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neuropsychology, development, and cognition. Section B, Aging, neuropsychology and cognition 2016-12-12 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The hippocampus is closely tied to spatial navigation, a central component in cognitive functioning, and critically involved in age-associated cognitive decline and dementia.
