The ability to attend and to exercise cognitive control are vital aspects of human adaptability. Several studies indicate that attention training using computer based exercises can lead to improved attention in children and adults. Randomized control studies of exposure to nature, mindfulness and integrative body-mind training (IBMT) yield improved attention and self-regulation. Here, we ask how attention training and attention state training might be similar and different in their training methods, neural mechanisms and behavioral outcomes. Together these various methods lead to practical ways of improving attention and self-regulation.
参与和行使认知控制的能力是人类适应性的重要方面。多项研究表明，使用基于计算机的练习进行注意力训练可以提高儿童和成人的注意力。对接触自然、正念和身心整合训练（IBMT）的随机对照研究显示，注意力和自我调节能力得到了改善。在此，我们探讨注意力训练和注意力状态训练在训练方法、神经机制和行为结果方面可能有哪些异同。这些不同的方法共同带来了改善注意力和自我调节的实用途径。
