The progressive aging of the population, along with the prolonged lifespan, it has become essential to study how to improve cognitive maintenance in seniors. CogniFit's tools make it possible for researchers and scientists from around the world to study, from a neuropsychological point-of-view, ...
A semi-structured method was used to allow for flexible and open-ended discussion [29], so as to directly address the problems with guiding questions as follows: Q1. To what extent do you agree that patients with MCI are interested in using computer-based rehabilitation/therapy? What makes ...
Galvin wouldn’t discuss Biden or Trump because he hasn’t examined them—but said that generally it’s a good idea for seniors to get checked yearly to spot changes. It’s much like how doctors don’t assume your blood pressure’s still fine, they measure it. ...
To interrogate the posed questions, we performed a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study where 49 healthy older adults (OA; mean age = 68.5 ± 6.3, 26 females) were randomly assigned to an intervention group (BBT:n = 24) or an active, expectancy-matched control ...
(B) AC: Participants in this group completed a series of non-specific computer-based tasks including predominantly watching informative nature videos and answering content-related questions as previously used,46 as well as online “treasure hunts” devised by our team. These tasks were designed to ...
Both cognitive and physical fitness interventions have been utilized in intervention studies to assess maintenance and enhancement of attention abilities in seniors, and a coupling of these approaches is a compelling strategy to buttress both cognitive and physical health in a time- and resource-...
About 70% of drivers with very mild and mild VCI fail an on-road driving test, compared to 11% of healthy seniors. 2. Management of VCI 2024 Notes VCI is a complex and heterogeneous syndrome that creates challenges for care processes and clinical decision-making. Clinical management of ...
We now look at how the questions were answered both individually and overall. Fig. 2 shows a summary of the results for the correct answers (by question) and for the entire test. The left side refers to the number of correct answers for each question, i.e. B&B, Machines and Lillypad ...
Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), which comprises nine questions. Scores for each question ranged from 0 (not at all) to 1 (several days), 2 (more than half of the days), and 3 (nearly every day). Depression was defined as a PHQ-9 score ...
[149]. Still, many questions remain unanswered about the cognitive implications of specific characteristics of WMH, such as asymmetry of distribution [150], impact of the underlying histopathology [151], or location (e.g., peri-ventricular vs. sub-cortical) [152]. WMHs may also be implicated...
