Efficacy of a computerized cognitive training application for older adults with and without memory impairments. Aging Clin Exp Res. 2013;25:411-419.http://hdl.handle.net/2183/14249[Abstract] Background/aims It has been shown that cognitive training might help to protect against age-related cognitive decline. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of a computerized cognitive training application and its near transfer effects on the cognitive status of older adults. Methods Performance on the 7-Minute Screen at baseline and at the end of the program was analyzed by using a prepost design. Adults aged 55 and older (n = 101; mean age ± standard deviation: 68.97 ± 5.81 years) with and without memory impairments were trained. Results Significant improvements after the training program were found in memory, visuo-spatial and verbal fluency abilities, regardless of age, gender or education. Moreover, participants without significant memory impairments and those with Age-Associated Memory Impairment gained from the program more than subjects with mild cognitive impairment. Conclusion Computerized cognitive training programs, such as Telecognitio , may be used as a practical and valuable tool in clinic to improve cognitive status.eng7-Minute screenComputerized cognitive trainingCognitive impairmentTelecognitio®journal articleopen access
