BACKGROUND Several types of cognitive or combined cognitive-motor intervention types that might influence physical functions have been proposed in the past: training of dual-tasking abilities, and improving cognitive function through behavioral interventions or the use of computer games. The objective of this systematic review was to examine the literature regarding the use of cognitive and cog...

alcohol provokes different molecular pathways contributing to a clinically significant neurotoxicity in different brain areas. affected cognition in alcoholics can influence both daily life functioning and alcohol craving management abilities. preventing alcohol-induced neurotoxicity with different neuroprotective pharmacological interventions is receiving strong scientific backgrounds from pub...

Background Cognitive impairment is a common complaint among cancer survivors, significantly impacting working memory, attention, executive function, and information processing speed. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effect of neuropsychological interventions on the cognitive function of non-central nervous system (non-CNS) cancer survivors. Methods Three databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, and ...

BACKGROUND While observational studies show that an active lifestyle including cognitive, physical, and social activities is associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline and dementia, experimental evidence from corresponding training interventions is more inconsistent with less pronounced effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare training- and lifestyle-related changes i...

This article focuses on the importance of psychosocial interventions for individuals with schizophrenia. We present recent research in the areas of cognitive behavior therapy, social skills training, family interventions, supported employment, and cognitive remediation. We consider issues within those domains of treatment, such as symptom remission versus functional recovery, the limitations of...

Recent research has demonstrated broad benefits of video game play to perceptual and cognitive abilities. These broad improvements suggest that video game-based cognitive interventions may be ideal to combat the many perceptual and cognitive declines associated with advancing age. Furthermore, game interventions have the potential to induce higher rates of intervention compliance compared to ot...

Given that the research area of cognitive intervention studies in the aging population is growing rapidly, it is important to review and gauge more recent intervention studies, in order to determine the evidence for the effectiveness of cognitive interventions. The purpose of the present review was to update the recent systematic reviews of Papp et al. (2009) and Martin et al. (2011), to evalua...
